My Great Grandmother’s Industrially Processed Food
I saw it in the US last week. I agree that sugar isn't juice, but technically if you take juice and dehydrate it, you get crystalized sugar.

I get the "technically" but I believe that the FDA was going after it as a deceptive labelling practice.

And deceptive it arguably is. The clear issue is not that people are too dumb to realize that dehydrating cane juice results in sugar, but that when they scan the ingredients looking for "sugar", they may not always spot its disguised form.
