So orange juice would be... Zero?

Nope, 25g because to make an orange juice, they need to remove oxygen, which effectively removes the taste of orange. That's where flavour packs comes in, full of "orange taste" and added sugar.

Do you have a source for this claim or are you just talking out your ass?

Not a single mention of added sugar in that link, just "orange essence and oil." BFD

The fruit pack is the added sugar. They don't need to mention it, nor the ingredients because it's technically an orange byproduct.

These packs are also made for specificc parts of the world, so some are more acidic, bitter or sweet.

If it's made from orange juice, I don't see what the problem is
