When i'm looking at food ingredient labels on the packaging, they don't seem to include the thing itself.
For example orange juice does not contain orange juice, milk does not contain milk...
Or is it that they run a mass spectrometer and analyze what kind of molecules are in the natural food ingredient? Instead of listing the common name like "orange".
Well, that's very strange and also unbelievable. Regular product packaging does include the "thing itself" in the ingredient label. We don't buy orange juice, but we do buy milk. Here's a quick snap of the ingredient label from the half gallon of Trader Joe's milk currently in our fridge. It says "Ingredients: milk."
Google "orange juice ingredient list" and you will find myriad photos of bottles of orange juice which say "Orange juice" under "Ingredients."
What kind of juice are you buying? I also rarely buy Oj, as we juice our own, but I'm pretty sure it would say Orange juice on the label, or oj concentrate. If you are buying some cheap knock off, then that's different.

Real orange juice has to be labeled as such. If the carton proclaims 100% Florida Orange Juice, it needs no ingredient list. Full stop. Juicy Juice and orange drink is different.
Milk is a contested word. Almond "milk" is not from the udders or teats of almonds. Soy beans do not have a milking parlour. Inclusions are also allowed in "milks" Other than buying certified organic cow or goat milk, you takes your chances.

Could you share some examples of brands that do no have the thing itself in the ingredient list?
If you want orange juice, go to the store & buy some. If you want a powdered mix, that's fine, but it's not OJ. I actually like some of the dollar tree powder mixes. (6 packets for a buck)
Years ago was looking to buy raspberry vinegar online, ingredients mentioned contains 0.02 % raspberries. A few months later my garden had ripe raspberries diy some.
Yesterday home made some raspberry vinegar again. With 9 raspberries from my garden to 3/4 cup vinegar not sure of the % but must be more than 0.02 %.
