471 + 10 = 481! 5 in bottles carbing... another 5 in the primary

My local supermarket (Price Chopper) has 1G bottles of apple juice from concentrate, but the label only lists filtered water and apple juice concentrate as the ingredients. If there were other ingredients in the concentrate would they have to list it? What I really want to know is does...
