Health notes
Juice is not considered a food additive and does not have an E-number. Its consumption is generally considered safe, though it contains natural sugars. The UK's Eatwell Guide advises that fruit and vegetable juices contribute to our 5 A DAY, but recommends limiting intake to 150ml per day due to their sugar content.
Allergen info
Juice itself is not one of the 14 major allergens. However, if the juice is derived from a fruit or vegetable that is a source of an allergen (e.g., citrus fruits and sulphur dioxide/sulphites), or if it is processed in a facility that handles allergens, cross-contamination could be a concern.
