V8 vegetable juice is a popular beverage sold worldwide. It is made from 8 vegetables or a combination of vegetables and fruits. Although V8 juice contains salt, vegetable cocktail, citric acid, “natural flavoring” and ascorbic acid, it is said that it does not contain artificial colors or preservatives.
