Frequently Asked Questions About Packaged fruit juice
Is packaged fruit juice good for you?
Packaged fruit juice can provide some nutrients, but it is not a substitute for whole fruit: it usually contains little fibre, and some varieties have added sugar. Choose water as your everyday drink and check the ingredients for added sweeteners.
Is packaged fruit juice as healthy as eating whole fruit?
No. Whole fruit provides fibre and takes longer to eat, while packaged fruit juice is easier to drink quickly and is less filling. Choose whole fruit most often; juice can be an occasional drink rather than your main way of getting fruit.
Does packaged fruit juice have added sugar?
Some packaged fruit juice has added sugar, while other products contain only sugars naturally present in fruit. Look at the ingredients list for sugar, syrup or other sweeteners; “no added sugar” does not mean sugar-free.
How long does packaged fruit juice last after opening?
Keep packaged fruit juice refrigerated once opened and use it within the time stated on the package. Close the cap between servings, and discard juice that has been left unrefrigerated for a long time or shows signs of spoilage.
Does packaged fruit juice need to be refrigerated before opening?
Not always. Shelf-stable packaged fruit juice can usually be kept unopened in a cool, dry place, while refrigerated juice must stay chilled. Follow the storage instructions on the specific package, then refrigerate it after opening.
Can babies and children drink packaged fruit juice?
Children old enough for juice can have it in limited amounts, but it should not replace water or whole fruit. Avoid giving fruit juice to babies under 12 months; frequent sipping can also expose children’s teeth to sugar and acid.
Can people with diabetes drink packaged fruit juice?
They can, but the natural sugars in fruit juice can raise blood glucose, even when no sugar has been added. Check the label and account for the portion; for advice tailored to your medication and meal plan, ask your clinician or dietitian.
What does “from concentrate” mean on packaged fruit juice?
It means water was removed from the juice to make a concentrate, then water was added back during production. Juice from concentrate is still fruit juice; the phrase does not tell you whether sugar or other ingredients were added, so check the label.
Can packaged fruit juice count as a serving of fruit?
It may count toward fruit intake under some dietary guidelines, but the serving rules vary and juice does not provide the fibre of whole fruit. Check the guidance where you live, and make whole fruit your usual choice.
Can you drink packaged fruit juice after its expiration date?
Do not drink packaged fruit juice past a safety-related use-by date. A best-before date mainly concerns quality, but discard the juice if the package is swollen or leaking, or if the opened juice smells or looks unusual.

What is Packaged fruit juice?
Packaged fruit juice is a ready-to-drink beverage sold in cartons or bottles, made from pressed fruit or from juice concentrate. Some varieties contain added sugar, so ingredients and sweetness vary by product. It is usually served chilled, with a fruity, sweet or pleasantly tart taste, and is convenient to keep on hand for breakfast or a snack.
It is mostly water and carbohydrates, with little fibre or protein; it provides 11 g of carbohydrates per 100 g. Across many countries, it is served at home, in lunch boxes or alongside a meal. For a lighter option, choose a variety with no added sugar, pour a smaller serving, or pair it with whole fruit for more fibre.
