No alcohol listed on the label (and if it had more than 0.5% alcohol
then it couldn't be sold at the store where it was bought anyway).

So why does the label identify this as "lime cordial" and not "lime
juice"?

Does it go by the name "lime cordial" in the UK, and hence they thought
that it should have the same label in Canada?

Do they think that the customer is looking to make an alcoholic drink
with it (ie a "cordial") and hence they slap the "cordial" label on it,
thinking that "lime juice" would be interpreted as an ordinary cooking
ingredient instead of a component of a mixed drink?
