The term orange drink (not to be confused with orange soft drinks) refers to a sweet, sugary, orange-flavored drink.
Typically such beverages contain little or no orange juice and are mainly composed of water, sugar, flavor, coloring, and additives, sometimes in that order. As such, they are very low in nutritional value. In 2002, however, a "cheap, fortified, orange-flavored drink" was developed with the intention of improving nutrition in the third world by adding Vitamin A, Iron, and Iodine to people's diets.
Because orange drinks can be confused with orange juice, the U.S. government requires orange drinks, as well as other beverages whose names allude to fruit products, to state the percentage of juice contained above the "Nutrition Facts" label.
