Choose a 150ml 100% sparkling apple juice when you want an individual fizzy serving that matches the NHS guidance on the maximum daily amount of unsweetened fruit juice that counts towards 5 A Day. If juice content matters less, compare sparkling apple drinks by their ingredients, sugars per 100ml and serving size; if fizz is unnecessary, a larger still-juice bottle may suit measured servings in a shared office.
A 150ml can avoids pouring from a shared bottle. Sainsbury's lists its 150ml Appletiser as 100% sparkling apple juice; the NHS says a maximum of 150ml of unsweetened 100% fruit juice counts towards 5 A Day, once daily.
Compare the drink as well as its nutrition panel. Sainsbury's lists 4.3g sugars per 100ml for Cawston Press Cloudy Apple, which contains 49% apple juice, and 10.5g per 100ml for its 100% juice Appletiser listing. The pack sizes differ, so the per-serving amounts need a separate check.
Individual packs make distribution straightforward; a larger still-juice bottle calls for cups and a way to measure servings. Tesco and Sainsbury's list still apple juice in bottle formats, while sparkling Appletiser is listed in single-can and multipack formats.
Decide whether the office wants 100% juice, a lower-juice fizzy drink or still juice before comparing serving sizes and labels.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Juice content | Read the juice percentage and ingredients. Sainsbury's lists Appletiser as 100% apple juice and Cawston Press Cloudy Apple as 49%; Marks & Spencer lists 16% apple juice and added sugar in its Sparkling British Apple Spring Water. | I want to know whether I am ordering sparkling apple juice or an apple-flavoured drink. If fizz does not matter, I can consider still juice too. |
| Sugars | Compare sugars per 100ml, then the amount in the pack you intend to serve. Sainsbury's lists 10.5g per 100ml for its Appletiser 150ml listing and 4.3g per 100ml for Cawston Press Cloudy Apple. | A lower figure per 100ml matters to me, but I also need to check the serving volume before comparing drinks. |
| Juice portions | For unsweetened 100% fruit juice, the NHS says a maximum of 150ml counts towards 5 A Day, once daily. Check whether an individual pack is 150ml, 250ml or another size. | I would prefer a defined 150ml juice serving, or a practical way to measure one from a larger pack. |
| Office service | Check the number and volume of individual packs, or whether a larger bottle suits shared pouring. Read the product's storage instructions, particularly for use after opening. | Single packs would be easier to hand out; for a shared bottle, I need cups, fridge space and someone to manage the opened pack. |
Products with similar apple wording can have very different ingredients: Sainsbury's lists 100% juice for Appletiser and 49% for Cawston Press Cloudy Apple, while Marks & Spencer lists 16% for its Sparkling British Apple Spring Water.
Check the juice percentage and ingredients before choosing between a juice and an apple-flavoured alternative.
A 250ml can exceeds the NHS maximum daily 150ml amount of unsweetened 100% fruit juice that counts towards 5 A Day. A larger serving does not count as an additional portion.
If that portion guidance matters to your office, choose a 150ml pack or arrange measured servings from a larger container.
A multipack of 250ml drinks and a pack of smaller cans provide different individual servings, even when both are easy to distribute.
Check the volume of each pack and decide whether drinks will be handed out individually or poured for sharing.
