Approximately 70% of the Apple Juice sold in the United States is made with Chinese concentrate.

A company can call juice 100 % even if it contains water, sweeteners, preservatives, coloring, and other ingredients as long as it does not result in the finished product having less soluble fiber than actual expressed juice.  <ref> {{http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/retrieveECFR?gp=1&SID=4bf49f997b04dcacdfbd637db9aa5839&ty=HTML&h=L&mc=true&n=pt21.2.101&r=PART#se21.2.101_130 }}</ref>⏎
