Summary
This apple juice product is primarily made from apple juice concentrate and water, with citric acid for tartness and natural flavor. While it contains no added sugars beyond those naturally present in the fruit, the presence of 'natural flavor' as an ingredient raises concerns due to its vague nature and potential inclusion of undisclosed additives. Additionally, the product is classified as ultra-processed, which limits its score despite the absence of major harmful ingredients.
