I think that they are things that government should be doing, and
setting food standards is one of them. That being said, I can't always
agree with the standards they do establish because they are not always
what most people would assume them to me. For instance, in the UK,
"The term €œfresh€� should not be used, directly or by implication, on
juices prepared by dilution of concentrates. " Note the use of the word
"should" rather than "must". "Pure" is no guarantee with juices. They
can say it is pure if it is made from concentrate, and they can add
sugar to sweeten it and they can add lemon juice or ascorbic acid to
correct the taste.
