Canadians want variety and taste in the beverage products they consume. This is certainly apparent when it comes to the 100 percent juice and juice drink product category.

The producers, marketers, bottlers and distributors of 100 percent juice and juice drink beverages provide products that offer more than simple refreshment.  Many of these products deliver vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

One hundred percent juice is just that - 100 percent Fruit juice with no added sugar.  Juice drinks, however, contain less than 100 percent Fruit juice, and often have other ingredients added such as water, flavors and sweeteners, including sucrose, fructose and glucose.  In both cases, the exact amount is printed on the label above the nutrition facts panel.  While the amount of vitamins or health benefits may vary depending on the beverage, 100 percent juice and juice drinks all can be enjoyed for their good taste and refreshment.
