Orange Juice’s ‘Secret’ Flavor Packet Surprises Some Moms

For the last 30 years, the citrus industry has used chemical flavor packs to process orange juice, without being required to print these ingredients on their packaging. This is true of top brands like Tropicana, Minute Maid, Simply Orange and Florida Natural, among others… even juices labeled "not from concentrate" or "premium." Some health-minded mothers are worried about this "secret" flavoring in the juice they're giving their children, and one concerned mother said, "It makes sense that they would need to add chemicals for it to last through the transit time and for the consumers to buy and store at home… It's just wrong that they aren't being transparent about it. We as a consumer have a right to know exactly what's in the foods we are buying."
