Trust in the food industry is not exactly great. But are the findings in this video really that “shocking”?

Fact check: Drinks are full of chemical dyes. It is understandable that consumers do not trust many foods. Some sites often report alarmistly about poisons in food. A video is now intended to demonstrate how simple methods can be used to determine that food has been manipulated.

Do these simple methods really do what they claim?

In the video, a cloth is dipped into a glass of juice. The dye in the juice is absorbed by the cloth. The actual juice looks rather pale.

You don't really see a big secret in this: the fruit content, especially in cheap lemonades, is just 3% to a maximum of 15%.
The rest of the liquid consists of water, sugar, flavorings, colors and preservatives. But that doesn't look particularly attractive for the consumer. That's why the dyes that collect in the cloth make up a large part. The safety of these food colorings is guaranteed and regulated. If you want to be on the safe side, it is better to use fruit juices (not fruit juice drinks!), which must consist of 100% fruit.

The claim is true. Drinks are full of chemical dyes!

However, it's no secret that many drinks contain more water, sugar and colorings than real fruit juices.
