MINUTE MAID would like us to think their orange juice in a carton, is
Fresh Juice. They keep changing the wording on the label--probably in
response to pressure from a government agency.
They started calling it Fresh orange juice", but they had to stop
that. Then "Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice". Then "Squeezed from Fresh
Oranges", (as opposed to dead oranges??) . The latest one is "Home
Squeezed Oranges". (A neighbor proudly showed me that label, thinking
it was fresh orange juice. )
The label says, as required, "Pasteurized." Pasteurizing requires
heating juice to 132 degrees and holding it there for over 30 minutes.
That's a good thing, of course, but you are *not* drinking fresh juice.
Thanks for letting me vent--but it is annoying.

Shut up and buy California spinach. Hire people from Guatemala for
your orange juice farm which you have shamelessly plugged! Pay them
double up to $12 per day capitalista! Then when you get broke because
you have payed 2% fair wages, emigrate to Bolibia and work on coca
plantations and see how the other 90% of the worlds population lives!
Bastante!!!!

The best OJ is that from frozen concentrate, even better than fresh
squeezed.

What a Kook !
"plugged?"
"orange juice farm?"
"capitalista?"
"Bolibia?"
You missed the whole point. But, never mind.

Not much different than everyones favorite store injecting meat with
water and preservatives and selling it as fresh meat.

That reminds me of when I used to work in the bakery department of a
grocery store. Customers would come to me with a loaf of bread or bag
of rolls and ask, "Were these baked fresh?" I was always tempted to
say, "No ma'am, they were baked stale."

But aren't they actually differentiating from the juices made from
concentrate?

I'm not aware of any commercial orange juice that is not pasteurized.

I usually buy "Simply Orange" or "Grovestand" brands, as their orange
juiced is never made from concentrate. Minute Made, OTOH, offer both
"fresh" and "from concentrate" varieties.

No, Wayne., I am looking at a Minute Maid carton right now. It says:

"Minute Maid Premium.
Home Squeezed "
("style" in very tiny letters)
100% pure squeezed (as opposed to "stale squeezed"?)
orange juice
(and in VERY small letters, so small they can hardly be read)
"from concentrate"
-------------
I think there's no mistake they are trying to fool us into thinking it
is fresh.

I think the government agency will soon make them change this too.

I stand corrected. Although they do also produce a juice that is not from
concentrate, or at least they used to. I don't like the one made from
concentrate. The brands I buy are clearly marked *not* from concentrate,
as well as clearly marked "pasteurized". Too bad about Minute Maid. I'd
have thought better of them.

"Pure" has nothing to do with "stale". Stale is a level of freshness.
Pure implies nothing else added other than oranges.

Somehow I don't see the problems here that you're imagining?

Just out of curiosity, how does the Minute Maid OJ taste? If you enjoy
the taste, why get upset at how the OJ is labeled? If you don't enjoy
the flavor, why not switch to a different brand?

Speaking for myself and not Nancree, I have tried both the Minute Made OJ
from concentrate and the one *not* from concentrate. The one from
concentrate has a decidedly "cooked" taste to me, which I don't like. The
*not* from concentrate is okay. However, I really prefer the taste of
Simply Orange, Grovestand, or Florida's Natural. All are *not* from
concentrate, and although pasteurized, have a decidedly fresher taste.

The only OJ I can tolerate at all is the Tropicana Low Acid:
http://www.tropicana.com/TRP_Product...m?ProductID=51

It says "pure squeezed" and "Pasturized" and IMO is pretty good.
Everything else is almost bitter to me.

As far as I know, Minute Maid does not have OJ "not" from concentrate
and tries to fool the consumer by labeling the cartons as if the juice
were not from concentrate. They used to have one, but stopped selling
it several years ago.

The only time I tasted it was years ago, when there was a city-wide
promotion by Minute Maid, introducing their "new" OJ, which was made
from concentrate but was supposed to taste like freshly squeezed.

I tasted it in several stores and each sample tasted equally vile. I
didn't even take advantage of the free containers that were offered.

They have changed the juice several times since then, but I never
tried it again. I buy several "not" from concentrate OJ's, whichever
one has the most pulp and is on sale. Morton Williams has one that
costs $1.99 on sale for the half gallon and it is just as good as
Tropicana or Florida Natural, which is either $2.50 or $3.00 on sale
in several super markets every week.

I guess it's been longer than I realized since I had tried it.

We can usually get brand or another at 2/$4 or 2/$5. We always buy two
because David likes "pulp free" and I like the most pulp I can get.
