Summary feedback
Tropicana 100% Orange juice from PepsiCo India has added orange flavour. In our opinion, it is to mask the effects of processing and to give it a flavour profile close to fresh Orange juice.
It is a sugary beverage as a serving of 240 gm contains 20.7 gm of sugar, which is harmful for diabetics as well as the obese. One single 330 ml serving can deliver 6 teaspoons of sugar, which is more than the recommended daily level even for a healthy person!
