The authors wish to make the following corrections to this paper [1]. Following publication, it was discovered that the data provided to the authors for fruit juice was incorrect. Updated data were provided by IRI Australia. This affects the text relating to Figure 3 and the juice totals for Table 1. Corrected data are listed below.

3. Results: Data on per capita volume sales for juice, juice drinks and flavoured milks were only available for the period 2009 to 2018. During this period, volume sales of juice drinks (<100% juice) declined slightly, while sales of 100% juice dropped sharply, by 43% (Figure 3).

The correct data were provided by IRI Australia. Please replace the above table with this one below.
