The issue is frequency: the red flags make this a poor default, even if rare use carries lower practical concern.

This card is the decision shortcut. The detailed evidence and citations live in the six-axis cards below.

Sugar load
■ Don't eat trigger

Meets the RED threshold for liquids because total sugars are 14. 2g per 100ml (≥5g/100ml).

The label/ingredients list also includes sucrose (added sugar), reinforcing high free-sugar load for a beverage.

Processing tier
■ Don't eat trigger

This is an ultra-processed, reconstituted fruit drink (ingredients include mango juice concentrate (14. 7%), sucrose, acidity regulators (INS 330, INS 340), stabiliser (INS 466), synthetic colours (INS 110, INS 102), and added flavour), consistent with NOVA Group 4.

Under the v1 rule, NOVA 4 plus a failure on another axis (Sugar load is RED) triggers a RED flag here.

Fat profile

No fats/oils are listed in the ingredient list (no partially-hydrogenated oils; no palm/vegetable oils), and the nutrition panel states fat is essentially negligible. Based on the available label info, this stays below saturated-fat/trans-fat risk thresholds.

Sodium

Sodium is 15mg per 100ml, which is below the YELLOW threshold for liquids (150–300mg/100ml) and far below RED (≥300mg/100ml). Typical of sweetened fruit drinks without added salt.

Marketing deception
■ Think twice trigger

The brand statement "packed with a refreshing taste and loads of fruit nutrition" may overstate healthfulness given this is a reconstituted drink with 14. 7% mango juice concentrate and added sucrose plus synthetic colours/flavour.

Evidence suggests soft health framing rather than a directly contradictory regulated claim; no ruling is cited.

Regulatory history
■ Think twice trigger

No recalls/bans/orders specific to this variant are provided in the research, so RED is not supported. However, the timeline includes a CSE lab-test allegation that sugar was higher than the label for this product, which is a credible external scrutiny signal without a cited regulator outcome—mapped as YELLOW pending/indirect concern.
