Is it allowed to add sugar to orange juice in USA and still call it juice

=== Assistant: No. ===
No. In the United States, you may not add sugar to orange juice and still label it as “juice.”

Under FDA regulations:
* “Orange juice” (100% juice) must be made solely from oranges (fresh or from concentrate) and cannot contain added sugars or sweeteners of any kind.
* If sugar (or any caloric sweetener like cane sugar, corn syrup, etc.) is added, the product can no longer be labeled as juice.

What is allowed:
* Reconstituted juice from concentrate, where water is added back to concentrated orange juice.
* Flavor packs derived from orange components (peel oils, essences) added back to restore flavor after processing — these are still considered part of the orange and do not count as added sugar.

If sugar is added, labeling must change, for example:
* “Orange drink”
* “Orange juice beverage”
* “Orange-flavored drink” and it must declare added sugars in the Nutrition Facts panel.

So in short: adding sugar disqualifies it from being called orange juice in the U.S.
