About Tropicana 100% Orange Juice
One ingredient, no sugar added: the 9.2 g per 100 ml is entirely the fruit's. That is the label's story and it is true, but the WHO counts juice sugars as free sugars all the same, because pressing the fruit removes what would otherwise slow them down. An 8 fl oz glass comes to 22 g.
Is that a lot of sugar?

Concentration follows the UK Department of Health front-of-pack thresholds for total sugars. The serving reading follows the WHO orientation value for free sugars. Nutri-Score is reproduced from the source named above. All three are applied mechanically to the declared figures for the market shown. None of them is a judgement about the product, and none is medical or dietary advice — what a given amount of sugar means for you depends on your whole diet and circumstances.
