I get that it says “flavored juice drink” now, but I was tired and the text is pretty small.

“Fruit snacks” are so much worse. It’s just candy, and inferior in taste and texture to anything made with actual fruit.

    Aye, USA famously have terrible consumer rights so they can get away with shite like this

    EU and UK (for now) have stuff like the Square Bananas act and the False Advertising act where this would be classified as illegally lying to the consumers and get the product taken off of shelves.

    We even for USA imports have this policy that they must have their ingredients list covered by a more accurate sticker

      Was wondering about those stickers. The packaging itself doesn’t have the actual ingredients?

        It does, but sometimes shortened in a way that EU law don’t allow, like instead of “flavouring A, flavouring B, preservative 1” just “natural flavourings and preservatives”
