Ocean Spray Cranberry Classic is a juice drink rather than pure juice — it contains 27% cranberry from concentrate diluted with water and sweetened with added sugar, since pure cranberry juice is too tart to drink unsweetened. The proanthocyanidins (PACs) in cranberry juice are associated with preventing UTIs in some studies, but the evidence is mixed. The sugar (11g per 100ml) in the classic version means a 250ml glass delivers 27.5g of sugar.

Sugar
Ocean Spray Cranberry Classic Juice Drink contains 11g of sugar per 100ml, entirely from natural fruit sugar. Despite having no added sugar, it still counts toward the daily free sugar limit, because the NHS classifies sugars in fruit juice as free sugars once the fruit has been juiced — the cell walls that slow sugar absorption in whole fruit are broken during pressing.
A small glass (150ml) delivers 16.5g of sugar, 55% of the adult daily free sugar limit. The NHS advises limiting pure fruit juice to a maximum of one 150ml glass per day.
What is in it
Cranberry juice drink
Cranberry juice from concentrate (27%), water, sugar, citric acid, vitamin C, natural cranberry flavouring. Not a pure juice — 27% cranberry content with sugar added to balance the natural tartness of cranberry. Pure cranberry juice would be too tart to drink without sweetening.
