Our take

CleanPlate review

Guava drink: 22% pulp, 11.6 g added sugar

Tropicana Guava Delight is a 1 litre guava drink made from water, guava pulp (22%) and sugar, with an acidity regulator, natural and nature-identical flavour, vitamin C as antioxidant and a natural colour. The panel is printed per 100 ml.

CleanPlate scores it EB4. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 ml. The B for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by guava pulp and sugar), with additives that cost points: flavouring. The 4 for risk comes mainly from free sugar (11.6 g per 100 ml).
