Ocean Spray 100% Juice Cranberry Juice Blend 64 fl oz
Ocean Spray 100% Juice Cranberry Juice Blend in the 64 fl oz (1.89L) bottle is a crisp, tart, and naturally sweetened beverage. Unlike "Cranberry Juice Cocktail," which contains added cane sugar or high fructose corn syrup, this version is a 100% juice blend, using the natural sweetness of other fruit juices to balance the powerful tartness of the cranberry.
Core Ingredients
The formula is designed to deliver the health benefits of cranberries without the need for refined sweeteners:
-
Cranberry Juice (Filtered Water and Cranberry Juice Concentrate): The star ingredient, providing the signature "zing" and a natural source of unique polyphenols (PACs).
-
Fruit Juice Concentrates: Typically a blend of Apple, Pear, and Grape juices. these are used specifically to provide the natural sugars necessary to make the cranberry juice palatable.
-
Natural Flavors: Plant-derived essences that help standardize the aroma and fruit-forward taste profile across different harvests.
-
Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C): Added to ensure each serving provides a full day's supply of this essential antioxidant.
-
Vegetable Concentrate (for Color): Used to maintain the deep, vibrant red hue that consumers expect from a premium cranberry blend.
