Ingredient Score:
Awarded a 3/5 green leaf rating, the Ocean Spray 100% Juice Blend – Cranberry Cherry is a middle-of-the-road choice for those seeking cleaner food options. This product is not certified organic and does not exclusively use non-GMO ingredients. Its composition includes a range of concentrated fruit juices, namely grape, apple, cranberry, cherry, and plum, accompanied by several additives.
The juice blend is fortified with Vitamin C, an essential nutrient. However, it loses points for the inclusion of citric acid, which, while naturally occurring in citrus fruits, is often used as a preservative and may be perceived as an added sugar in this context. The presence of natural flavor is also a drawback, as the term can mask a variety of undisclosed compounds. Other ingredients such as malic acid and fumaric acid, which are organic compounds found in fruits, are also present and contribute to the product’s tartness.
The product does not contain synthetic colors, instead using vegetable concentrate for color, which is a more favorable option for those avoiding artificial colorants. This juice blend does not stand out as an exceptional choice but also does not fall to the bottom of the list. It offers a mix of fruit juices with added vitamins but is pulled down by the inclusion of non-organic ingredients and the use of additives that may concern some health-conscious consumers.
For those prioritizing cleaner, more natural food products, the Ocean Spray 100% Juice Blend – Cranberry Cherry provides a moderate option. While it contains several fruit juices and added Vitamin C, its non-organic nature and inclusion of certain additives may not align with the preferences of all individuals seeking the purest food choices.
