Packed Fruit Juice: Many of us like to drink packed juice during the summer season. It is easily available in the market. Everyone from children to old people like it because it is very tasty. It is claimed that its bottles and packets contain real fruits, but there need not be real fruits here. Don't go by claims, use your intelligence.
nominal fruits in packets
A recent report of ICMR states that the amount of fruits in fruit juices available in bottles and tetra packs is only 10 percent. Giving many examples, the organization has said that customers are misled by calling it healthy. It is said that it is natural and rich in nutrients, but these things are often false. There can be a big difference between the claims and facts of these companies.
read labels carefully
ICMR has advised that customers should read the label written on the packet carefully before purchasing these packed juices. Besides, it should also be found out how much nutrients the body is getting in one serving. Sometimes a product is claimed to be organic, it is said to be a low calorie, low fat and high fiber juice, but you must check whether the ingredients present in it confirm these claims or not.
companies mislead
You also have to keep in mind that ICMR has given such warning not only on packed juices but also on all types of canned foods. Recently, the National Institute of Nutrition, Hyderabad or NIN has released revised dietary guidelines for Indians. It is reported that FSSAI has set strict standards regarding food packets, but companies adopt various tactics to mislead customers. Therefore you should give preference to fresh fruits.
