Sweetened aloe & fruit juice claims "no fructose"

Details

Created on 10, October, 2020

The package for a juice made from aloe vera, with fruit juice and sugar added, states "no fructose"...

This product has two ingredients that contain fructose: regular cane sugar (glucose + fructose) and fruit juice (most fruit has naturally-occurring fructose). Just because no isolated "fructose" is being added doesn't mean there is "no" fructose in the makeup of ingredients. They probably meant "no high-fructose corn syrup," which is a fructose- and glucose-containing sweetener manufactured from corn starch.
