Another interesting fact was that the people doing this add what they call
"Valencia Essence" to the stuff to make it more orange in colour, and to
make it smell and taste more like Valencia oranges.



"We'll also add a little highlighter to it, to give it a bit more flavour.
The highlighter is called Valencia Essence, it is a liquid that tastes
like Valencia orange," the whistleblower, who worked for National Foods,
claimed.

"When you buy fresh juice in winter, 20% would be fresh and the rest of it
would be aseptic and concentrate," the whistleblower claimed.
