What You Should Know

Sicilia Lime Squeeze is a small, 4 fl oz bottled lime juice product pitched as a convenient, “squeezed from real limes” solution for home cooks and bartenders. On a grocery trip you’ll most often find it in the bottled juices and mixers aisle near bottled lemon and lime juices, cocktail mixers, and drink syrups — and sometimes displayed near fresh produce as a grab-and-go alternative to whole limes. It reads like a pantry staple for quick meals and drinks: a splash for margaritas and mojitos, a brightener for fish tacos and ceviche, a finishing squeeze for dressings and baked goods. The Sicilia name leans on Mediterranean/Italian sounding heritage even though the concentrate is sourced from Peru, positioning the brand toward adults who value authenticity and convenience — cocktail enthusiasts, at-home cooks, and busy shoppers who want “real” flavor without the work of juicing. The label leans into health halos and simple language: “100% natural,” “squeezed from real limes,” and uses clean, straightforward typography; there is no organic certification and no child-focused branding. In plain processing terms it’s a reconstituted lime juice product made from concentrate with added lime oil and a preservative (sulphur dioxide) to maintain color and shelf life. Sensory-wise it delivers a sharp, citrusy tang with a thin, liquid texture rather than pulpy fresh juice; lime oil can add an aromatic top note. Packaging is typically a small plastic squeezer bottle with a pointed cap for controlled drops and ritualized use — a quick squeeze over cocktails, a teaspoon into marinades, or a dash in baked goods when fresh limes aren’t at hand.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made from reconstituted lime juice concentrate with added lime oil and a preservative (sulphur dioxide), this is an industrially processed fruit product rather than a fresh whole food, fitting the NOVA group for processed foods (3). It lacks the industrial formulations and cosmetic additives typical of ultra-processed foods (NOVA 4).
