What to know about Raw Pressery Refreshers Pineapple Juice
Only 20% pineapple, topped up with sugar and stevia
Raw Pressery Refreshers Pineapple Juice is a 750 ml bottle of ready-to-serve pineapple drink. Water leads the list, then pineapple pulp (20%) and khandsari sugar, with citric acid, pectin, vitamin C, a sulphite preservative, natural flavouring, a colour and stevia. It is bought as a chilled, convenient fruit drink.
A 200 ml glass, which the pack counts as one serve (3.75 in the bottle), gives 58 kcal, 0.4 g protein and 13 g sugar, 8.9 g of it added. Sodium is low at 13 mg a glass. Vitamin C is 13.9 mg per 100 ml, so about 28 mg a glass.
The pack says pineapple and not from concentrate, and the list backs both: the fruit comes as pulp, with no concentrate named. But pulp is only a fifth of the bottle, and the sweetness is topped up with sugar and stevia. CleanPlate scores it [F]CB3.
Why Raw Pressery Refreshers Pineapple Juice scores [F]CB3
Nutrition is a C that leans on vitamin C and calcium treated as fortification. Ingredients are a B, held back by a preservative and a sweetener. Risk is a 3, driven by 6.5 g sugar per 100 ml.
Adequate nutrient density
- Protein
- 0.2 g
- Fibre
- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- Vitamin C, Calcium, Potassium
- Energy
- 29 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 0.2 g per 100 ml and no fibre figure counts, so the core nutrition is thin. Vitamin C at 13.9 mg and a little calcium and potassium add micro-nutrient credit, which lifts the grade.
Because the vitamin C and calcium are treated as fortified, the grade would be an E without them. The score therefore rests on those added nutrients more than on the fruit.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why B
The list is short and understandable: water, pineapple pulp (20%), khandsari sugar, citric acid, pectin, vitamin C, flavouring, a colour and stevia. No dye of concern, no hydrogenated fat and no hollow label promise.
Points are lost for a few additives. Potassium metabisulphite (INS 224), a sulphite preservative, costs the most ingredient points. Steviol glycosides, pectin and the natural flavouring substances cost smaller amounts. Citric acid and vitamin C cost nothing.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Moderate risk
- Added sugar
- 4.5 g
- Sodium
- 6.7 mg
03 Load risk: why 3
Sugar is almost the whole risk: 6.5 g per 100 ml is counted as free sugar, because khandsari sugar is listed and its sugar is not in the declared added-sugar line (4.46 g). That is 13 g in a 200 ml glass.
Sodium is very low at 6.7 mg per 100 ml, and there is no saturated or trans fat. Energy is light at 29.1 kcal per 100 ml, so the grade lands on a 3.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
[F] Added vitamins or minerals meaningfully lift this product's nutrition grade. Without them it would score lower.

Does Raw Pressery Refreshers Pineapple Juice live up to its claims?
The pineapple and not-from-concentrate claims hold, though pulp is only 20%. The high vitamin C line is true but framed, since vitamin C is also added.
- Product namePartly true
“Refreshers Pineapple”
Pineapple is real, as pulp, but it is 20% of the bottle. Water leads the list and khandsari sugar follows.
- On the packHolds
“NOT FROM CONCENTRATE”
The list shows pineapple pulp and no concentrate. The drink is still diluted with water.
- Retail listingBe careful
“It's high in Vitamin C”
The drink has 13.9 mg vitamin C per 100 ml, about 28 mg a glass. Vitamin C (INS 300) is also added as an antioxidant, so not all of it comes from the fruit.
- Retail listingBe careful
“Calcium and protein shown as zero”
The retailer page shows calcium 0 and protein 0, the pack shows calcium 3.9 mg and protein 0.2 g per 100 ml. The amounts are tiny either way.
What's in Raw Pressery Refreshers Pineapple Juice?
Water, pineapple pulp and khandsari sugar lead the list. The sugar, the sulphite preservative and the stevia are what to watch.
The ingredient list, read for you
Water comes first, then pineapple pulp at 20%, then khandsari sugar, so the drink is mostly water sweetened with sugar. Citric acid adds tartness, pectin gives body, and vitamin C with INS 224 keeps the colour and shelf life. Natural flavouring substances, a colour (INS 160a(iii)) and stevia finish the taste and look. The pack states it contains sulphite.
Ingredients to watch
- SugarConcern
6.5 g per 100 ml counted as free sugar, 13 g in a 200 ml glass. The pack declares 4.46 g added per 100 ml, but khandsari sugar is in the list.
- Potassium metabisulphite (INS 224)Worth watching
A sulphite preservative that costs ingredient points. The pack says it contains sulphite, which matters to anyone sensitive.
- Stevia and flavouringWorth watching
Steviol glycosides and natural flavouring substances add sweetness on top of the sugar and cost a few ingredient points.
- Pineapple shareWorth watching
Pulp is 20% of the drink, with water ahead of it.
- Sodium and fatFine
6.7 mg sodium per 100 ml and no fat, so neither plays a part in the risk grade.
