What we say
The front-of-pack label claims that COTTEE'S No Added Sugar Orange Crush Fruit Juice Cordial is 25% fruit juice, but when it's diluted according to the manufacturer's directions it's only 5% fruit juice –– similar to the 5% fruit juice in soft drinks like SOLO Light.
Unlike regular COTTEE'S Cordial Orange Crush, it's essentially sugar free, so if your kids refuse to drink plain water this could be a good alternative. But it does contain three artificial sweeteners –– cyclamate, sucralose and acesulfame potassium. The CHOICE article on diet cola provides more information on artificial sweeteners.
CHOICE's verdict? Plain water should always be the first choice for quenching your kids thirst.
Additives: Thickener (sodium carboxymethylcellulose), preservatives (sodium benzoate, sodium metabisulphite), colours (carmine, turmeric).
