Nutritional Summary
The product receives a poor rating primarily due to its high added sugar content, with a single 180ml serving containing 12.6g of added sugar, which is over 25% of the FSSAI's recommended daily allowance. While it is fat-free and low in sodium, it is essentially a sugar-sweetened beverage with a low percentage of actual fruit concentrate and minimal nutritional value beyond simple carbohydrates.

Additive Analysis

Marketing Claims
The marketing presents a healthy and natural image with vibrant orange visuals, which can be seen as questionable given the product's high added sugar content and that its primary ingredient is water. The 'Orange Juice 45% (Reconstituted)' claim, while technically stated, may create a misleading impression of a higher fruit content than the 8.2% concentrate base suggests. The product is more accurately a fruit-flavored sugar-sweetened beverage.
