Ingredients
Ocean Spray makes its juice drinks from juice concentrates and adds filtered water during the blending of the white grape, white cranberry and strawberry juices. These fruit juices naturally contain sugar. Ocean Spray also adds sugar and high-fructose corn syrup to make their White Cranberry and Strawberry juice. Ascorbic acid is added to provide vitamin C. Citric acid and natural flavors are added to enhance the flavor, and red dye number 40 is added for color.

All of the energy provided by this juice comes directly from the added sugar and high-fructose corn syrup. These substances offer empty calories that provide no other nutritive value to the diet.
