I am not sure about the labeling laws everywhere, but there are a lot of
very deceptive descriptions of food protects. 100% juice is one of
those. People make the mistake of reading 100% pure juice as being 100%
cranberry, orange, apple or pineapple when it is more likely to be some
of the labelled juice, often a concentrate, supplemented with a lot of a
much cheaper juice.
