About ORANGE FRUIT DRINK, ORANGE

Meijer Orange Fruit Drink is a sweetened non-carbonated orange-flavored beverage from the Meijer brand, the Grand Rapids, Michigan-based Midwest supercenter chain. This product contains no actual orange juice and is classified as a fruit drink rather than juice. It is sweetened with both high fructose corn syrup and acesulfame potassium, with neotame (an ultra-high-intensity artificial sweetener) also listed. Preservatives include both potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate. Brominated soybean oil (BVO) is listed as an emulsifier — BVO is derived from soybean oil and is used in citrus drinks to keep flavor oils suspended, but its use has been controversial and it was removed from the FDA GRAS list in 2023; its continued presence on product labels may reflect older formulations.

At 25 calories per 240 ml serving, this is a low-calorie beverage. Carbohydrates total 6.25 grams per serving from the HFCS and natural sugars. Colors include Yellow 6, Yellow 5, and Red 40 — all synthetic dyes. Modified food starch and ester gum contribute to texture and flavor oil suspension.

Brominated soybean oil contains soy as a base allergen and has been subject to regulatory scrutiny. No wheat, dairy, eggs, nuts, or sesame are listed. HFCS, dual synthetic preservatives, BVO, and three artificial colors are notable ingredients for label-conscious consumers. Neotame is FDA-approved but rarely encountered and significantly more potent than aspartame. This drink is best understood as a budget low-calorie flavored water alternative rather than a nutritious beverage.
