Our take
CleanPlate reviewPlain orange juice, but 8.8 g sugar per 100 ml
Raw Pressery Valencia Orange Juice is orange juice (91.8%), orange pulp and citrus fibre, with vitamin C (INS 300) as the only additive. Nothing is added to it, which makes the ingredient list as short as a juice can get.
CleanPlate scores it EA3. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 ml. The A for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by orange juice, orange pulp and citrus fiber), and almost no additives. The 3 for risk comes mainly from free sugar (8.8 g per 100 ml).
Claims vs reality

A closer look
Does the label add up?
Orange juice 91.8%, orange pulp, citrus fibre and antioxidant vitamin C (INS 300).
Per 100 ml: 46 kcal, 0 g fat, 8.8 g sugar of which 0 g added, 0.1 g fibre, 0.6 g protein, 4.2 mg sodium. The pack-back image is a mock-up without a panel, so the values come from Blinkit's catalogue text. Vitamin C is not declared.
Ingredients to watch
- Free sugar from juiceConcern
8.8 g per 100 ml, the same order as a soft drink. Whole oranges bring fibre that slows this down; juice does not.
- No vitamin C figureWorth watching
The pack claims vitamin C but does not print an amount, so it cannot be credited.
- Short listFine
Juice, pulp and fibre only; no added sugar, colour, flavour or preservative.
- Low sodiumFine
4.2 mg per 100 ml.
Common misconceptions
Myth: "Fresh juice is as good as the fruit"
A 200 ml glass has the sugar of about one and a half oranges but little of the fibre. Eating the fruit fills you up more.
Myth: "No added sugar means no sugar"
The 8.8 g of sugar per 100 ml is naturally from the oranges; the body handles it like other free sugar.

Smarter ways to eat it
Small glass
A 100 to 150 ml serve with a meal keeps the sugar down.
Eat the fruit
A whole orange gives fibre and about the same vitamin C with less sugar at once.
