AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the ingredients in Tropicana Lychee Twirl juice, specifically the claim of "No Preservative" on the packaging despite containing synthetic food color (124) and added flavoring. Concerns are raised about food color (124), which is identified as a potential carcinogen for animals, as well as the presence of synthetic food color (110) in various food products. The conversation questions the healthiness of such packaged juices and foods, highlighting a perceived disconnect between marketing claims and actual product safety. The sentiment suggests that consumers often purchase products based on appealing labels rather than their true health implications, indicating a broader issue in food marketing practices.

I just bought Tropicana Lychee Twirl juice and looked at the ingredients.See what i found..

on carton (tetra pack) its prescribed "No Preservative" but it contains permitted synthetic food color (124) and added flavour (Nature identical flavouring substances): as curiosity, i was in search for information about food color (124)

[/PLAIN] pls look at tis site it says it (124) is carcinogen (Any substance that produces cancer) for animals.
Not only tis; look out for synthetic food color (110) which is found in jams, squashes and even in medicines


is this (type) of packed juices, foods indeed healthy? If not! why in the first place these products are in the market?

Because people buy any crap as long as it looks and sounds appealing. Slap a "green/organic" label on any product and suckers go for it no matter what.
