Naked Juice

Naked Juice Tropical Guava earns a 3 out of 5 green leaf rating on our clean food scale. This product is a blend of several fruit juices and purees, including orange juice, guava puree, pineapple juice, white grape juice from concentrate, kiwi puree, banana puree, apple juice from concentrate, along with chicory root fiber, and a selection of berry juices from concentrate. It also contains natural flavor.

The juice is not organic, which results in a deduction from its overall score. Additionally, the lack of non-GMO verification further lowers its standing on our scale. The inclusion of ‘natural flavor’ in the ingredients list prompts a significant score reduction due to concerns over potential harm from additives, despite the term ‘natural’ often being perceived as benign.

This product sits in the middle ground of our rating system. It provides a mix of fruit ingredients without artificial colors or preservatives, but its lack of organic certification and potential GMO content are notable. The presence of chicory root fiber suggests an attempt to add beneficial dietary fiber, which is often lacking in juice products. However, the use of concentrated juices can sometimes result in higher sugar content compared to fresh, whole fruit.

Given its green leaf rating, consumers looking for cleaner food options may find this product acceptable but not exemplary. Those seeking organic, non-GMO beverages will find that this juice does not meet those criteria. While it does offer a variety of fruit components, the concerns over natural flavors and the absence of organic ingredients prevent it from achieving a higher standing. Consumers are encouraged to weigh these factors when considering the Tropical Guava juice as part of their dietary choices.
