This is ridiculous Fox News level distortionary nitpicking.

The Obama USDA standards limited juice to "100% juice with no added sweeteners", to ban juices that over sweeten with concentrates and sugar syrup.

Plezi has 50-75% LESS sugar than 100% juice. [/quote]

The former First Lady's campaigning to improve the health of American children resulted in updated guidelines for school meals and drinks that limit the permitted types to milk, water, or 100 percent juice in 2014.

While plexi contains no added sugar, the juice content is almost exclusively from concentrate, which typically contains less nutritional value than whole fruit juice. That’s why they had to add corn fiber.

Jerold Mande, an adjunct professor of nutrition at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and CEO of Nourish Science, a nonprofit focused on nutrition, told Bloomberg: 'She has been ill-served by advisers who convinced her to start by targeting 6- to 12-year-olds with a flashy, ultra-processed beverage that may not be any healthier than diet soda.'
