Who is each format for?

Organisers handing out individual drinks

Sealed cans avoid pouring and partly used shared bottles. Tesco lists Appletiser in a six-pack of 250ml cans; check that a sparkling drink suits the attendees before choosing it.

Organisers who need still apple juice

If fizz is unsuitable, look for a clearly labelled still option. Juist has a 12 × 250ml can listing on Amazon UK, while the listed Tropicana 12 × 250ml multipack contains bottles. Confirm the pack format and seller before ordering.

Hosts with cups and refrigeration

A larger bottle allows self-pouring when cups and chilling space are available. Tesco lists Copella in a refrigerated 1.35L bottle and says to consume it within four days of opening, so plan for any juice left after the meeting.

What should you check before ordering?

Start with the number of individual servings and whether the group needs still or sparkling juice; then check the exact pack label and serving arrangements.

Priority What to check Your needs
Serving format Check the container type, pack count and unit volume. Tesco lists Appletiser as six 250ml cans; the Amazon UK Tropicana 12 × 250ml listing specifies bottles. I want enough sealed drinks to hand out without cups or pouring. The pack count needs to cover the people expected at the meeting.
Still or sparkling Read the product description rather than relying on “apple juice”. Tesco describes Appletiser as carbonated; Amazon UK lists Juist in still 250ml cans. If some attendees do not want fizz, I need a still option rather than assuming every can will suit them.
Juice content Check the ingredients for the exact product. Tesco lists Appletiser as carbonated apple juice from concentrate (100%); a product name alone does not establish its juice content. I want to know whether I am ordering 100% apple juice or an apple juice drink before comparing formats.
Serving size and sugars Compare the nutrition panel per can or bottle. Tesco lists 26g sugars per 250ml Appletiser can and 28g per 250ml own-label juice bottle. The NHS says unsweetened 100% fruit juice counts as a maximum 150ml portion once a day towards 5 A Day. I need to describe the drink and its serving size accurately, without assuming that 100% juice means low sugars.
Storage and serving Follow the delivered pack’s storage instructions. Tesco says its 1.35L Copella bottle must be refrigerated and consumed within four days of opening; larger bottles also call for cups and pouring. For self-pouring, I can arrange chilling space and cups and plan what to do with an opened bottle.

What can go wrong with the format choice?

  • Assuming every apple juice is still

    Tesco’s six-can Appletiser pack is sparkling, so it will not meet a requirement for still drinks.

    Decide whether carbonation is acceptable before ordering. If it is not, check the still-can pack details or choose individual still-juice bottles.

  • Treating 100% juice as a low-sugar claim

    Tesco lists 26g sugars in a 250ml Appletiser can. The NHS says unsweetened 100% fruit juice counts as a maximum 150ml portion once a day towards 5 A Day; a larger can does not increase that contribution.

    Check the exact product’s nutrition panel and offer juice as an optional drink alongside workplace drinking water.

  • Opening large bottles without a serving plan

    A large bottle needs cups and chilling space. Tesco says its refrigerated 1.35L Copella bottle should be consumed within four days of opening.

    Use self-pouring only when those arrangements and the likely amount consumed suit the meeting.

  • Relying on the product title alone

    A title may not settle whether a multipack contains cans or bottles, or give the label details needed for attendees.

    Before ordering, check the container, pack count, unit size, ingredients, allergens and storage instructions. Check the delivered pack again before serving.

Frequently asked questions

Can apple juice replace drinking water at a UK workplace meeting?

No. The UK Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 require an adequate supply of wholesome drinking water for people at work in the workplace. Apple juice can be offered in addition to that water.

How do I tell whether a can contains 100% apple juice?

Read the ingredients for the exact drink. Tesco lists Appletiser as carbonated apple juice from concentrate (100%); the words “apple juice” in a product title alone are not enough to establish another drink’s formulation. Check the delivered label before serving.

Does a 250ml can count as more than one 5 A Day portion?

No. The NHS says unsweetened 100% fruit juice counts as a maximum 150ml portion once a day towards 5 A Day. Drinking from a 250ml can does not increase that contribution.

Should I chill apple-juice cans before the meeting?

Follow the storage and serving instructions on the exact pack. If cold drinks are wanted, allow time and space to chill the cans; do not apply the instructions for a refrigerated fresh-juice bottle to every canned product.

How should I check allergens and dietary suitability?

Check the final label of each drink you plan to serve, rather than assuming all apple juices have the same ingredients or suitability. Use the pack details to answer attendees’ questions about the specific product.
