    There'll be preservatives in there as well.

    Any drink that doesn't tell you the ingredients is hiding something. The lack of mandatory listing for alcoholic drinks is ridiculous.

    That bulmers pear add really pisses me off, the ad going on about misleading ads when itself is totally misleading. It said it has 100% pear juice, but it was pointed out that this means the juice in it is 100% pear, but it is still loaded with sugar. So techinically it could have 1 single drop of pear juice in it and the ad is still legally OK.

    I emailed them about the sugar content in the ciders, I asked a leading question to try and get them to admit it had added sugar, or the content.
    Message/Enquiry: Is the new pear cider made with just 100% pears as described in the adverts. I am a diabetic with allergies to processed sugars but would be able to drink a pure pear cider.

    Hi ****,

    Unfortunately, it's not suitable for diabetics.

    Kind Regards,
    :rolleyes:

    It is disgraceful, can never understand why they are let off, tesco list ingredients on most of their booze.
    The spokeswoman said: "As stated, in order to ensure consistency of product, we make some post-fermentation adjustments to Bulmers sweetness, colour and acidity. As you can appreciate however, the detail of the recipe is confidential."
    Coke show the ingredients list like any other food/drink product and have successfully kept it secret. It is obviously confidential to hide the fact there is feck all juice in it.
