What You Should Know

POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice (48 fl oz) arrives on grocery shelves as a premium, single-ingredient beverage with a clear storytelling angle: purity, antioxidants and a touch of indulgence. You’ll typically find it in the refrigerated or chilled juice section and on endcaps near other 100% fruit juices, antioxidant blends, cold-pressed juices, and cocktail mixers — sometimes stocked alongside smoothie bases or specialty glass-bottled juices. Its occasions are versatile: shoppers pick it for brunch mimosas, morning health rituals, post-workout recovery sips, or as a vibrant mixer for weekend cocktails. The brand positions itself as upscale and health-forward, appealing to adults who want a perceived “natural” boost — often marketed to wellness-minded, middle-to-upper income shoppers who value provenance (California pomegranates) and antioxidant messaging. Labels lean heavily on health halos: “100% Pomegranate Juice,” “no fillers,” “never any added sugar,” and claims about antioxidants, but there’s no kid-focused branding or organic certification on this bottle. In plain processing context, this is juice made from concentrate and pasteurized for shelf life — a processed but single-ingredient product rather than a multi-ingredient manufactured snack. Sensory details: the juice pours with a slightly viscous, ruby-red sheen, tasting a balanced blend of tart and sweet with astringent pomegranate notes; texture is smooth with a faint pulp presence in some variants. Packaging is a sizable plastic bottle (the hourglass-shaped POM silhouette is recognizable), and rituals often include measuring out a 2–4 oz “shot,” adding to sparkling water, or serving a glass at brunch. It reads as both everyday wellness and occasional luxury.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made from concentrate and pasteurized but containing only pomegranate juice with no added sugars or additives, this product is processed (NOVA 3) rather than an ultra-processed industrial formulation. The "from concentrate" step and commercial processing place it beyond minimally processed whole fruit.
