100% Lemon juice is a great salt substitute and is convenient to have on hand when you cannot store several fresh lemons at a time in your home. 100% Lemon juice also suits almost every diet and brightens nearly any dish, from chicken to fish to stir fries to salad dressings. Many consider 100% lemon juice a must-have staple for the kitchen. Unfortunately, that 100% lemon juice you thought you were buying may actually contain as little as 10% lemon juice. The National Consumers League recently tested some of the bargain 100% lemon juice brands only to discover all four products it tested were watered-down substantially. Here are the results.
- NaturaLemon 100% Lemon Juice from concentrate – Natural Strength: contains only about 35 percent lemon juice.
- Lira 100% Lemon Juice from concentrate: contains only about 25 percent lemon juice.
- Lemon Time Lemon Juice from concentrate: contains about only 15 percent lemon juice. The product states on its front label, “Contains 100% Lemon Juice with added ingredients.”
- Pampa Lemon Juice from concentrate: contains only about 10 percent lemon juice. The product states “Made with 100% Juice.” The label also includes the statement “Natural Strength.”
If you purchased one of the above referenced 100% lemon juices believing them to be 100% lemon juice, please contact us to discuss your legal rights.
