grape juice

Question

i may be recalling incorrectly but i thought that if it is one of the first few ingredients it will be a large % of the total product to be batel. grape juice is batel... 1/6?? and with this OJ it was the 2nd or 3rd ingredient. please explain a little further if you can.. and is triangle k usually a reliable hashgaha?

Grape juice is Batel (rendered irellevant) if it is 1/6th or less. It is also always made by cooking it, therefore if a non-Jew would touch it, it would still be OK. I don't know triangle K, but any Hashgachah (Supervising Agency) would be fine for something so basic. AA
