2 Labelling of Fruit Juices and Related Products
1. Introduction
Council Directive 2001/112/EC relating to fruit juices and certain similar products lays down rules on the
production, composition and labelling of these products. These rules have been amended most recently
by Directive 2012/12/EU to take into account technical progress in fruit juice processing and the Codex
Alimentarius standard for fruit juices and nectars.
Directive 2012/12/EU will apply from 28th October 2013. The amendment introduces new rules
on authorised ingredients, such as those pertaining to the addition of sugars which are no longer
authorised in fruit juice, fruit juice from concentrate, concentrated fruit juice, water extracted fruit juice,
and dehydrated/powdered fruit juice. For this reason, the nutrition claim ‘no-added sugar’ will no longer
be permitted on these products. For the purpose of this Directive, tomatoes have been redefined as a
fruit, therefore tomato juice and similar products will now fall under the scope of Directive 2001/112/EC.
The compositional requirements of fruit nectar have also been amended and from 28th October 2013,
fruit nectars can be produced with, or without the addition of sugars, and/or honey. In addition, the
amendment introduces a new category of juice; water extracted fruit juice.
This document takes into account the general labelling requirements for foodstuffs including fruit juices
and related products.
In addition to Directive 2001/112/EC as amended, the following legislation should be consulted for
specific requirements on food labelling and the production of fruit juices and related products:
• Directive 2000/13/EC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling,
presentation and advertising of foodstuffs transposed into law by S.I. No. 483 of 2002
• Regulation EU No 1169/2011 of 25 October 2011 on the provision of food information to consumers
• Directive 2001/111/EC of 20 December 2001 relating to certain sugars intended for human
consumption transposed into law by S.I. No. 289 of 2003
• Regulation EC No 1333/2008 of 16 December 2008 on food additives
• Council Directive 90/496/EEC of 24 September 1990 on nutrition labelling for foodstuffs transposed
into law by S.I. No. 461 of 2009
• Regulation EC No 1925/2006 of 20 December 2006 on the addition of vitamins and minerals and of
certain other substances to foods
• Regulation EC No 1924/2006 of 20 December 2006 on nutrition and health claims made on foods
• Directive 2006/125/EC of 5 December 2006 on processed cereal-based foods and baby foods for
infants and young children
• Council Directive 98/83/EC of 3 November 1998 on the quality of water intended for human
consumption
2. Products Covered
Directive 2001/112/EC as amended sets compositional and labelling requirements for six designated
products namely:
• Fruit Juice
• Fruit Juice from Concentrate
• Concentrated Fruit Juice
• Water Extracted Fruit Juice
• Dehydrated/Powdered Fruit Juice
• Fruit Nectar
Each of these products must meet the compositional standards laid down in the legislation and may
only be marketed under the product name or the designated name.
The Directive also sets out specific rules for labelling each of the six products in addition to the general
labelling requirements for pre-packaged goods.
3. Labelling Requirements
Fruit juices and similar products must be labelled in accordance with the general labelling rules (Council
Directive 2000/13/EC). However, specific provisions for fruit juices and similar products are adopted in
Directive 2001/112/EC. Directive 2001/112/EC lays down common rules governing the composition, use
of reserved descriptions, manufacturing specifications and labelling of the products concerned.
As mentioned previously, Directive 2001/112/EC has been amended most recently by Directive
2012/12/EU. Under this amendment, the addition of sugars will no longer be authorised in any of the
different categories of fruit juices. Foods placed on the market or labelled before 28th October 2013 in
accordance with Directive 2001/112/EC, will be permitted on the market until 28th April 2015. From
28th October 2013 until 28th October 2016, the statement ‘From 28 April 2015 no fruit juices contain
added sugars’ may appear on the label of fruit juice, fruit juice from concentrate, concentrated fruit
juice, water extracted fruit juice, and dehydrated/powdered fruit juice. This statement must appear in the
same field of vision as the product name.
Council Directive 2000/13/EC provides the current rules for the labelling, presentation and advertising of
foodstuffs, Directive 90/496/EEC lays down rules governing nutrition labelling, both of these Directives
are repealed by the food information to consumers (FIC) Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011. FIC came
into effect on 13th December 2011 and will apply from 13th December 2014, with the exception of
mandatory nutrition declaration, which will apply from 13th December 2016.
Foods placed on the market or labelled prior to 13th December 2014, which are compliant with
Directive 2000/13/EC but do not comply with the requirements of FIC, may be marketed until the stocks
of the foods are exhausted.
Mandatory labelling requirements under Directive 2000/13/EC:

• Name under which the product is sold*, e.g. orange juice or orange juice from concentrate
• List of ingredients (with the exemption of single ingredient foods)
• Quantitative ingredient declaration (QUID) for certain ingredients
• Net quantity*
• Date of minimum durability*
• Special storage instructions or conditions of use
• Name or business name and address of the manufacturer or packager, or of a seller within the EU
• Place of origin of the foodstuffs if its absence might mislead the consumer to a material degree
• Instruction for use where necessary
* These details must appear in the same field of vision.
Mandatory labelling requirements under FIC

(applicable from 13 December, 2014, with some exceptions):
• Name under which the product is sold*
• List of ingredients (with the exemption of single ingredient foods)
• Allergens
• Quantitative ingredient declaration (QUID) for certain ingredients
• Net quantity*
• Date of minimum durability or the ‘use-by’ date
• Special storage conditions or conditions of use
• Name or business name and address of the food business operator as referred to in Article 8(1)
• Country of origin or place of provenance where provided for in Article 26
• Instructions for use where necessary
• Nutrition information (applicable from 13 December 2016)
*These details must appear in the same field of vision.
Additional requirements under FIC

Additional requirements under FIC include the following:
• All mandatory information must be printed in characters using a font size equal to or greater than
1.2mm. With the exception of packaging or containers which have the largest surface area of less
than 80cm², in such cases the font size must be equal to, or greater than 0.9mm
• Labelling requirements regarding foodstuffs sold via the internet-mandatory information must be
available before the purchase is concluded (except date of min durability) and all information must be
available upon delivery
Requirements under both Directive 2000/13/EC and FIC

Where a product comprises a single ingredient only, e.g. orange juice without any other ingredients
such as added vitamins and minerals, a list of ingredients is not required where the trade name is
identical with the ingredient name, or the trade name enables the nature of the ingredient to be clearly
identified.
QUID: the percentage quantity of an ingredient or category of ingredients used in the manufacture or
preparation of a food is required when the ingredient or category of ingredients concerned is:
• Included in the name of the food

• Usually associated with the name of the food
• Emphasised on the label in words, pictures or graphics
• Essential to characterise and distinguish the food from products with which it might be
confused because of its name or appearance
The information provided on the label must not mislead the consumer. This would rule out suggestions
that the product possesses special characteristics, e.g. statements such as ‘low-fat’, when in fact, all
similar products possess such characteristics.
The name under which the product is sold must include or be accompanied by particulars as to the
physical condition of the foodstuff or the specific treatment which it has undergone, in all cases where
omission of such information could create confusion in the mind of the purchaser.
Nutritional information
Currently, the provision of nutrition information is voluntary unless a nutrition related claim is made.
Under Council Directive 90/496/EEC, nutrition information must be presented in one of two formats,
either Group 1 or Group 2 format depending on the nutrient that is the subject of the claim (see The
Labelling of Food in Ireland, 2007 report for more information on this).
From the 13th December 2014 and the 13th December 2016, food businesses which provide nutritional
information on a voluntary basis, or where a nutritional and/or a health claim is made, must have a
nutritional declaration which complies with FIC. From 13th December 2016, nutritional information will
be mandatory for most pre-packaged foodstuffs.
The format of the nutrition table has changed under the FIC Regulation, in so far as the mandatory
declaration will be as follows:
Energy (kj/kcal)
Fat (g)
Of which saturates (g)
Carbohydrate (g)
Of which sugars (g)
Protein (g)
Salt (g)
The declaration for ‘carbohydrate’ has moved position and is listed after ‘fat’ and ‘saturates’
declarations. The current requirement to indicate ‘sodium’ in the declaration has been replaced by a
‘salt’ declaration (the figure indicated must be based on the sodium content of the food). The content
of the mandatory nutrition declaration as stated above may be supplemented with one or more of the
following:
Monounsaturates (g)
Polyunsaturates (g)
Polyols (g)
Starch (g)
Fibre (g)
Any of the vitamins or minerals listed in point 1 of Part A of Annex XIII to the Regulation, and present in
significant amounts as defined in point 2 of Part A of Annex XIII to the Regulation.
The nutrition labelling rules of FIC can be adopted before 13th December 2014, rather than following
the rules laid down in Council Directive 90/496/EEC on nutrition labelling of foodstuffs. Food business
operators opting for the nutrition labelling rules of FIC must comply with all of these requirements.
Foods labelled in accordance with FIC can be placed on the market before the 13th December 2014,
provided that there is no conflict with the labelling requirements of Directive 2000/13/EC, which
continues to apply until 13th December 2014.
Declaration of nutrient values

The declared values must be average values based on:
(a) The manufacturer’s analysis of the food

(b) A calculation from the known or actual average values of the ingredients used
(c) A calculation from generally established and accepted data
It is recognised that it is not always possible for foods to contain the exact nutrient levels labelled, due
to natural variations and variations from production and during storage.
However, the nutrient content of foods should not deviate substantially from labelled values to the
extent that such deviations could lead to consumers being misled. With this in mind, the EU has
developed a guidance document on tolerances for the control of compliance of nutrient values declared
on a label with EU legislation.*
When ingredients such as additives are used in a product, they must be indicated by their function
class, e.g. antioxidant, but must be included in the nutrition content calculation of the product, e.g.
when ascorbic acid is used as an antioxidant it must be labelled as such and not as “added Vitamin C”.
The calculation of the Vitamin C content of a product should include both Vitamin C for nutritive value
and ascorbic acid for antioxidant purposes. However, a nutrition claim can only be made on the value of
Vitamin C added for nutritional purposes.

4. Fruit Juice
Composition of Fruit Juice

Fruit juice is the extracted juice of fruit which has not been concentrated.
• It is obtained from the edible part of the fruit which is sound and ripe.
• It should have the characteristic colour, flavour and taste, typical of the fruit from which it came.
• It can consist of one or more types of fruit.
• It can be fresh or preserved by chilling, or freezing.
• Flavour, pulp, and cells obtained by suitable physical means from the same species of fruit may be
restored to the fruit juice.
• In citrus fruit, the juice must come from the endocarp; while lime juice may be obtained from the
whole fruit.
• Pips, seeds, peel, and their components must not be incorporated, except in cases where they
cannot be removed by good manufacturing practices.
• The mixing of fruit juice with fruit purée is authorised in the production of the fruit juice.
• In the case of juice obtained from just one fruit, the Brix level must be the one of the juice extracted
from the fruit and must not be modified, except by blending with the juice of the same species of
fruit.
• In the case of juice obtained from two or more fruits, each component can only have its natural
Brix level, thus the Brix level from several fruits must be the weighted average Brix level of its
components.

in descending order of the volume of the fruit juices, or purées included as indicated in the list of
ingredients, e.g. orange, apple and pineapple juice. The only exception is where lemon, and/or lime
juice is used to regulate acidic taste (as previously described under authorised ingredients for fruit
juice, page 9) and are labelled as “anhydrous citric acid”.
• Where three or more fruits are used, the list of these fruits may be replaced by the words “several
fruits”, or similar wording in the product name.
• Where two or more fruits are used in production, the quantity of each fruit used must be expressed
as a percentage of the product and must be indicated on the label (QUID).

reconstituted juice, as per Annex V to the Directive.
• The minimum Brix level established in Annex V is exclusive of the soluble solids of any added
optional ingredients and additives.
• If a juice from concentrate is manufactured from a fruit not mentioned in Annex V; the minimum Brix
level of the reconstituted juice must be the Brix level of the juice, as extracted from the fruit used to
make the concentrate.
• Flavour, pulp and cells obtained by suitable physical means from the same species of fruit may be
restored to the fruit juice from concentrate.
• It must be prepared by a suitable process which maintains the essential physical, chemical,
organoleptical, and nutritional characteristics of the juice, from the fruit from which it came.
