    Nutritional labeling is used as a tool to identify and inform about the nutrients in processed and ultra-processed products consumed daily in our country. Objective: To determine compliance with the content of critical nutrients in fruit juices and nectars sold in supermarkets in the VMT district in May 2023. Methodology: Quantitative study with a non-experimental, prospective, and cross-sectional approach. Population: Fruit juices and nectars sold in Lima, Peru, in May 2023. Results: The study included a total of 74 products, subdivided into juice, drinks, and nectar categories. It was found that 17.6% (n=13) of the products were juices, 71.6% (n=53) were drinks, and 10.8% (n=8) were nectars. Regarding compliance with technical parameters, there was a difference in the critical nutrient sugar, with 70.3% (n=52) of the sample meeting the Ministry of Health (MINSA) parameters and 16.2% meeting the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) standards. Conclusion: It is essential to develop different habits when shopping, including checking the nutritional labeling of products to understand their nutritional content.
