Apple juices category - en
This page describes an in-depth look at the apple juices category on OFF. The purpose was to increase the quality of this category in terms of data and contained products.
What is apple juice?
This category is part of more generic categories as fruit juices and is defined as a beverage. There are no formal definitions for these categories yet, so we have to come up with some guidelines:
- drinkable, probably without any additional preparation
- fruit based, so not the fruit itself
- apple based, and probably lots of apple
It is necessary to loop better at the products that are now in the category to get an idea what people did put in. And then we might come up with a better definition. We also like to know what is not included in this category.
Current situation

- Schorle - apple juice (at least 50%?) mixed with fizzy water (Schorle)
