This page describes an in-depth look at the apple juices category on OFF. The purpose was to increase the quality of this category in terms of data and contained products.

What is apple juice?

This category is part of more generic categories as fruit juices and is defined as a beverage. There are no formal definitions for these categories yet, so we have to come up with some guidelines:

  • fruit based, so not the fruit itself
  • apple based, and probably lots of apple

Current situation

At the moment of writing (27 feb 2023) there are 3132 products in the category, of which 2800 have nutrition facts. When scrolling through the products most are called apple juice (jus de pomme).
