I found the 'Glo' brand not to be a 'safe' choice- Apple Mango not only has the 2nd ingredient listed as sugar, but also contains 2 colours (110, & 102) which have been linked to hyperactivity & are suspected carcinogens. Glo Apple Raspberry also contains 2 colours (122 & 133) both of which are suspected carcinogens & linked to hyperactivity. Brilliant Blue (133) should also be avoided by asthmatics.
All brands that I studied contain varying amounts of reconstituted juice- the highest being Just Juice (99.9%), Westcliff Apple (99.7% - Aldi), & Select Real Juice (98%).
Bear in mind though that all reconstituted juice contains sugar & that all the brands I have mentioned so far list either 'Natural Flavour' or 'Flavour' (i.e.a form of MSG) as an ingredient. At least it is last on the ingredient list but, we must also bear in mind that there is still a 5% loophole here in Australia. This means that manufacturers can get away with not listing additives if they are present in an ingredient that comprises 5% or less of the product.
