What happens with "fresh juice" that's not from a concentrate is that when they pasteurize the juice and store it in vats, it loses its flavor. So they import flavor packs from France, made by big perfume houses, add it to the juice as they bottle them.
That's how you get that consistent flavor and taste which would be impossible otherwise.
When stored, they have to remove the oxygen so it does not spoil. That removes all the flavour, colour and taste, and any beneficial vitamins. Apparently, it looks like watered down milk at that point. Then they have to add the flavour pack so it resembles actual juice again.
So gross.
Buy fresh pressed, or don't bother.
