Household Ingredients Compared › Fresh Apple Juice (Singapore)

Fresh apple juice: what's actually in it?

Same distinction as fresh orange juice, applied to apple: chilled fresh / not-from-concentrate (NFC) juice is pressed apple juice, usually with only ascorbic acid (vitamin C) added; from-concentrate juice is water plus apple juice concentrate, also usually with ascorbic acid; and a juice drink is a different product — water, concentrate, sweeteners, flavouring, stabilisers and preservatives, where apple may not even be the first ingredient. The front of the pack rarely makes this clear. The ingredient list does, in the first two words.

This page does not give a health score, a ranking, or a "best" pick. It shows the ingredient list as printed, flags added sugar, and explains the jargon in plain English. It does not cover cider (fermented apple juice) or sparkling apple drinks except where noted as out of scope.

The headline, in 30 seconds

NFC is the shortest list. Little Farms Cloudy Apple Juice: 100% apple juice (not from concentrate) plus ascorbic acid. SunFarm Korea NFC Apple: apple 99.9%, vitamin C 0.01%.
From-concentrate is still just juice + water + vitamin C, in most cases. The standard pattern is filtered water, apple juice concentrate, ascorbic acid. That is not the same as "fresh", but it is not a juice drink either.
Juice drinks are where the long lists live. Marigold Peel Fresh Less Sugar Apple Aloe Vera starts with aloe vera pulp and polydextrose, then apple juice concentrate, fructose and sucrose — plus flavouring, preservative E202, stabiliser, colouring and malic acid. "Less sugar" does not mean "no added sugar" here: fructose and sucrose are both in the list.
"No sugar added" still means natural apple sugars. Apple juice naturally contains sugars (fructose, glucose, sucrose from the fruit). "No sugar added" means no sugar was added in processing — it does not mean sugar-free.
Apple in a blend is not apple juice. Marigold Peel Fresh PowerJuice Pomegranate Cranberry with Apple lists five juice concentrates before water — apple is one of several fruits, not the whole drink.
The biggest gap on this page is the chilled mainstream brands — and one of them is now partly closed. F&N Fruit Tree Fresh Apple Aloe Vera is now panelled from a Singapore Open Food Facts listing, but the plain Fruit Tree Fresh Apple (no aloe vera) and Marigold Peel Fresh Cloudy Apple still have no verified SG ingredient list — they stay in seen-not-verified, not panelled from a short description.

Chilled fresh / not-from-concentrate (NFC)

Little Farms — Cloudy Apple Juice 250ml

Pack size: 250ml · Made in: not stated (as printed)

Ingredients: 100% apple juice (not from concentrate), Anti-oxidant: ascorbic acid. No added sugar, preservatives or additives

Little Farms Singapore product listing. Described as made from blending Russet and Jonagold apples grown in orchards in Sussex, Kent and the Three Counties. This is the cleanest NFC example on this page — and the only panelled juice whose Singapore listing explicitly states "not from concentrate" in the ingredient line itself. No added sugar Chilled / bottled juice

SunFarm Korea 100% NFC Fruit Juice — Apple

Pack size: not stated · Made in: not stated (as printed)

Ingredients: Apple 99.9%, Vitamin C 0.01%

FairPrice-linked grocery listing (GroceryPrices Singapore, FairPrice offer). NFC = not from concentrate. The 0.01% vitamin C is ascorbic acid, the same antioxidant as in the Little Farms juice, expressed as a percentage here. No added sugar NFC

SunFarm also sells NFC bundles (apple + pear; apple + apple & muscat grape) and a seedless apple juice for kids — those variants are in seen-not-verified, as their lists were not separately retrieved.

From concentrate — and pressed juice that mixes juice with concentrate

100% apple juice from concentrate — type example, not a Singapore pack

Pack size: not stated · Made in: not stated (as printed)

Ingredients: Filtered water, apple juice concentrate, ascorbic acid (vitamin C)

Open Food Facts listing for a 100% apple juice from concentrate. Included as the pattern for from-concentrate juice, because no Singapore-specific from-concentrate apple juice with a retrieved verbatim list was found in this pass — the mainstream Singapore from-concentrate products are in seen-not-verified below. Do not attribute this exact wording to a named Singapore brand without a pack check. No added sugar (in this example)

How to read it: water first does not mean "watered down" in the cheating sense — concentrate must be reconstituted with water to become juice again. The tell for from-concentrate is the word "concentrate" itself, not the position of water.

100% fresh pressed apple juice — type example, not a Singapore pack

Pack size: not stated · Made in: not stated (as printed)

Ingredients: Apple juice, apple juice concentrate, ascorbic acid (vitamin c)

Open Food Facts listing for a 100% fresh pressed apple juice. Note the mixed structure: pressed apple juice first, but concentrate also present — "fresh pressed" on the front does not guarantee "not from concentrate" throughout. Same flag as above: type example only, not a named Singapore pack. No added sugar (in this example)

Juice drinks and blends — apple is not the whole drink

Marigold Peel Fresh Less Sugar — Apple & Aloe Vera Juice Drink

Pack size: 946ml · Made in: Singapore (as printed)

Ingredients: Aloe Vera Pulp, Polydextrose, Apple Juice Concentrate, Fructose, Sucrose, Permitted Flavouring, Calcium Lactate, Sodium Citrate, Vitamin C, Permitted Preservative (E202), Calcium Chloride, Edible Gum, Permitted Stabiliser, Malic Acid, Permitted Colouring

Open Food Facts Singapore listing (barcode 8888026870003, sold in Singapore, also listed at RedMart; FairPrice lists the same product as "Apple & Aloe Vera (Less Sugar)", 946ml, Singapore origin, Healthier Choice Symbol, "lower in sugar chilled apple juice with aloe vera pulp, contains fibre and high in vitamin C" — the brand's description, quoted as such). Added sugar: fructose, sucrose

What to notice: aloe vera pulp comes before apple juice concentrate, and polydextrose (a soluble fibre / bulking ingredient) is second. "Less sugar" is a comparison with the regular version, not a claim of no added sugar — fructose and sucrose are both listed.

Marigold Peel Fresh PowerJuice — Pomegranate Cranberry with Apple Juice Drink

Pack size: 946ml / 1.89L · Made in: not stated (as printed)

Ingredients: Pomegranate Juice Concentrate, Apple Juice Concentrate, Pear Juice Concentrate, Grape Juice Concentrate, Cranberry Juice Concentrate, Permitted Flavouring, Permitted Stabiliser (Of Plant Origin), Water, Citric Acid, Potassium Sorbate, Sucrose, Permitted Colouring

Open Food Facts listing. Apple is second of five concentrates — this is a multi-fruit blend, included here because shoppers looking for "apple juice" will meet it in the same chilled aisle. Sucrose is listed near the end, after potassium sorbate (preservative). Added sugar: sucrose

F&N Fruit Tree Fresh — Apple Aloe Vera Juice

Pack size: 1L · Made in: Singapore (as printed)

Ingredients: Apple Juice from Concentrate, Aloe Vera Juice, Vitamin C, Flavouring, Malic Acid, Colouring, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Metabisulphite. Contains sulphur dioxide.

Open Food Facts Singapore listing (barcode 8888200615383, 1L, sold at RedMart and NTUC FairPrice, Singapore origin). Flag: this is the Apple Aloe Vera variant — the plain Fruit Tree Fresh Apple list was not separately verified, so do not attribute this list to the plain Apple product. Added sugars are printed as 0g on the same listing, and the product carries the Healthier Choice Symbol. The preservatives (sodium benzoate, sodium metabisulphite) and colouring are what separate this from a plain NFC apple juice. No added sugar (as printed) Allergen: sulphur dioxide / sulphites

Kagome Yasai Seikatsu100 — Carrot and Apple — HK listing; SG pack to confirm

Pack size: 12 × 200ml · Made in: not stated (as printed)

Ingredients: Water, Concentrated vegetable juice (Carrot, Tomato, Red bell pepper, Red perilla, Red cabbage, Red beet, Japanese radish, Asparagus, Onion, Kale, Broccoli, Spinach, Brussels sprouts, Chinese cabbage, Celery, Parsley, Cabbage, Lettuce, Pumpkin, Watercress), Concentrated fruit juice (Apple, Lemon, Peach, Grape, Acerola, Pineapple), Vitamin C, Natural flavour, Acidity Regulator (Citric acid)

Kagome Hong Kong product page for the same named product, sold at FairPrice Singapore as 12 × 200ml. The brand states the upgraded formula is 70% vegetables + 30% fruits, with more than 20 kinds of vegetables and fruit mixed, and no added preservatives, colours, sugar or salt. Apple is one fruit among six in the fruit-juice share — this is a vegetable juice with apple, not an apple juice. Flag: the list is from Kagome's HK page for the same named product; the Singapore pack has not been separately verified. No added sugar (brand statement) Vegetable-led blend SG pack to confirm

Seen but not verified — do not panel until checked

F&N Fruit Tree Fresh No Sugar Added Juice — Apple (plain, 946ml and other sizes); Fruit Tree Fresh Juice — Apple Aloe Vera (plain Apple variant) — the Apple Aloe Vera variant is now panelled above from a Singapore Open Food Facts listing; the plain Apple variant's full verbatim SG ingredient list was still not separately verified in this pass, so it stays here. Do not attribute the Aloe Vera list to the plain Apple product.
F&N Fruit Tree Fresh Apple, Beetroot & Carrot Mixed Juice Drink — widely sold in Singapore (100% juice, no sugar added, per brand coverage); no verbatim SG ingredient list retrieved.
Marigold 100% Apple juice (barcode 8888026431815, RedMart) — a Singapore Open Food Facts listing exists with a nutrition panel (per 100ml: energy 175kJ/42kcal, fat 0g, carbohydrates 10.3g, sugars 10.3g, protein 0.2g, salt 0g, sodium 0g; labels: no preservatives, no added sugar, Healthier Choice Singapore) but no ingredient list on the listing, so it cannot be panelled for ingredients. It may be the Cloudy Apple 100% juice — do not assume that without a pack check.
Marigold Peel Fresh Cloudy Apple Juice — named in Marigold's own recipes and in Singapore juice coverage; full SG ingredient list not retrieved. Do not assume it matches the Less Sugar Aloe Vera list above — cloudy apple and aloe vera are different products.
Marigold Peel Fresh Apple Juice (regular, not Less Sugar) — Malaysian listings give polydextrose, apple juice concentrate, fructose, sucrose, etc. (similar to the Less Sugar list but without aloe vera first); the SG pack list was not separately verified, so it is not panelled.
Sunkist, Sunquick Packet Drink — Apple, Kagome Yasai Seikatsu100 — Carrot and Apple, Pokka Sparklin' Fuji Apple — listed in FairPrice chilled / juice categories; Sunquick is a packet drink and Pokka is a sparkling drink, so they are juice-drink / soft-drink adjacent, not fresh juice — full lists not retrieved. Kagome Carrot and Apple is now panelled above from the brand's HK listing (SG pack to confirm). Sunkist Premium Apple Juice on Open Food Facts is a Philippines-only listing (barcode 4800110097602) — not a Singapore product, so it is not panelled.
Aoren Kiroii Ringo Yellow Apple 1L — listed in the FairPrice juices category; no ingredient list retrieved.
SunFarm NFC variants — Apple + Pear bundle, Apple + Apple & Muscat Grape bundle, Seedless Apple Juice for Kids — listed alongside the panelled NFC Apple; variant lists not separately retrieved.
Little Farms café freshly squeezed juices — Granny Smith Apple (takeaway), Green Juice, Vitamin C, ABC + G — café menu items (made to order), not retail bottled juice; their menu ingredient descriptions (e.g. apple, beetroot, carrot, ginger) are recipes, not pack ingredient lists, so they are not panelled.
Giant, Sheng Siong, Cold Storage, Don Don Donki, Mustafa, Meidi-Ya, Le Petit Depot, RedMart, Lazada and Shopee apple-juice ranges — no further verified lists in this pass beyond the FairPrice / Little Farms / Open Food Facts inventory above; in-store check needed, especially for imported NFC juices (e.g. Australian / New Zealand / Japanese apple juices) sold only in those chains.
Cider and sparkling apple drinks (e.g. Strongbow Gold Apple) — out of scope for this page (fermented / carbonated drinks, not juice), noted here only so they are not mistaken for juice in the FairPrice chilled category.

Nutrition — what the numbers say

Salt on this page is shown as salt = sodium × 2.5: sodium is quoted as printed, with the salt equivalent in brackets, except where a source prints salt instead of sodium — then the printed salt is shown and sodium is derived from it, flagged as such. Sodium is never presented as salt. Sugars below are total sugars as printed, not added sugars: the ingredient lists above are the evidence for added sugar (Peel Fresh Less Sugar lists fructose and sucrose; PowerJuice lists sucrose; Little Farms Cloudy lists no added sugar). Figures are per 100ml as sold. No official Singapore Nutri-Grade (A–D) was found printed on any apple-juice listing checked in this pass, so none is quoted here; none has been assigned. (FairPrice describes Peel Fresh Less Sugar as carrying the Healthier Choice Symbol — that is a different mark, not a Nutri-Grade, and is not quoted as one.)

Product	Basis	Energy	Protein	Total fat	Saturated fat	Carbohydrate	Sugars	Sodium (salt equiv.)
Little Farms — Cloudy Apple Juice 250ml	Per 100ml, as sold	221kJ / 52kcal	<0.1g	0.1g	0.1g	12.5g	12.5g	<0.1g as printed* (listing also prints salt <0.1g — see note)
Marigold Peel Fresh Less Sugar — Apple & Aloe Vera Juice Drink	Per 100ml, as sold	97kJ / 23kcal	0.32g	0g	0g	5.4g	4.92g†	35mg (salt 0.09g)
Marigold Peel Fresh PowerJuice — Pomegranate Cranberry with Apple Juice Drink	Per 100ml, as sold	90.4kJ / 21kcal	0g	0g	not stated	5.4g	4.2g	20mg (from printed salt 0.05g)
F&N Fruit Tree Fresh — Apple Aloe Vera Juice	Per 100ml, as sold (Open Food Facts SG)	83kJ / 20kcal	0.12g	0g	0g	5g	4.8g	13.2mg (salt 0.033g)

* Cloudy Apple: the Little Farms listing prints both "Salt <0.1g" and "Sodium <0.1g". Those two printed figures do not convert consistently (salt = sodium × 2.5), so both are reported here as printed and not reconciled — check the bottle before publish. † Peel Fresh Less Sugar sugars conflict: the Open Food Facts Singapore listing prints 4.92g per 100ml, while a 2018 MiniMe Insights report on the launch range gave total sugar as 5.4g per 100ml (of which 4.3g added sugar). The Open Food Facts figure is shown in the table; the older figure is flagged, not picked or merged.

As observed numbers only: Little Farms Cloudy Apple prints 12.5g sugars per 100ml, against PowerJuice at 4.2g per 100ml and Peel Fresh Less Sugar at 4.92g per 100ml; sodium prints are 35mg per 100ml for Peel Fresh Less Sugar and 20mg per 100ml (derived from printed salt) for PowerJuice. No health verdict, ranking or pick is drawn from these numbers.

Seen but not verified (nutrition): SunFarm Korea 100% NFC Fruit Juice — Apple (no nutrition panel found for this product in this pass); Kagome Yasai Seikatsu100 — Carrot and Apple (no nutrition panel found for this product in this pass). The two type-example cards above (from-concentrate and fresh-pressed) are patterns, not named Singapore packs, so no nutrition figures are attached to them. SunFarm and Kagome stay panelled for ingredients above; their nutrition is not estimated from another apple juice.

How to read an apple-juice list — the jargon, in plain English

Not from concentrate (NFC): Juice pressed from fruit and pasteurised, without removing water and adding it back later. The shortest lists on this page are NFC.
From concentrate: Juice from which water was removed for shipping/storage, then added back. The list will say "apple juice concentrate" (and usually water). It is still 100% juice if nothing else is added — but it is not NFC.
Juice drink: A drink containing some juice plus water, sweeteners, flavouring and other additives. The word "drink" (not "juice") on the pack is the tell, along with a long list.
Ascorbic acid / vitamin C: The same thing in juice lists: vitamin C added as an antioxidant to stop browning and preserve colour. It is not a sweetener or preservative in the E202 sense.
Polydextrose: A soluble fibre / bulking ingredient, used in "less sugar" drinks to replace some sugar bulk and add fibre. It is not a sweetener itself.
E202 (potassium sorbate): A preservative, used in juice drinks (not usually in NFC or from-concentrate juice).
Malic acid / citric acid: Acids that add tartness and adjust pH. Malic acid is the main acid naturally in apples; citric acid is also commonly added.
"No sugar added" vs "no sugar": "No sugar added" means no sugar was added during processing. Apple juice still contains natural fruit sugars, so it is never sugar-free.

What this page is not

Not a health score, not a ranking, and not a taste test. NFC is not automatically "better" for every use — it is simply the least-processed list.
Not a price comparison. Prices are deliberately omitted.
Not complete for the chilled aisle — the plain Fruit Tree Fresh Apple and Peel Fresh Cloudy Apple are still unverified and therefore unpanelled, which is the main gap to close before publish. The Apple Aloe Vera variant of Fruit Tree is now panelled; do not let it stand in for the plain Apple.
Not a guide to orange, mixed-fruit or vegetable juices, except where an apple blend is included to prevent confusion. Those are separate categories.

Sources and method

Checked 5–6 November 2026 from: Little Farms Singapore product listing for Cloudy Apple Juice; FairPrice-linked grocery listing for SunFarm NFC Apple; Open Food Facts Singapore listings for Marigold Peel Fresh Less Sugar Apple Aloe Vera and PowerJuice Pomegranate Cranberry with Apple; Open Food Facts type examples for from-concentrate and fresh-pressed patterns (flagged as non-SG-pack examples); FairPrice chilled-beverages category listings for the seen-not-verified inventory. Full per-fact source list is in the accompanying research notes.

Nutrition note (added 5–6 November 2026): the "Nutrition — what the numbers say" section above standardises figures to per 100g or per 100ml wherever the pack or retailer gives per-100 figures; figures available only per serving are quoted exactly as per serving (with serving size as printed) and are not converted to per-100. Sugars are total sugars as printed, not added sugars — the ingredient list is the evidence for added sugar. Salt = sodium × 2.5; sodium is shown as printed with the salt equivalent in brackets, and is never presented as salt. Where Singapore's official Nutri-Grade is printed on a drink pack or listing it is quoted as printed; no grade has been assigned by this site, and no health score, ranking or "best" pick is given. Products whose nutrition could not be verified are listed under "seen but not verified (nutrition)" on each page, not estimated.
