Doctors welcome cut in fruit juice’s ‘flawed’ 5-star health rating
2020 Australian of the Year Dr James Muecke backs a decision highlighting the sugar content of fruit juices
Doctors and nutritionists have applauded a move by food regulators that will see the health star ratings of some pure fruit juices slashed because of their significant sugar content.
A vote by the members of the Australian and New Zealand Ministerial Forum on Food Regulation has maintained an earlier decision to significantly downgrade the star ratings of some 100% pure fruit and vegetable juices.
