"Orange Juice: Some Moms Say It Has a 'Secret Ingredient' That Worries Them"
Year old "fresh" orange juice?...
ABC News has this in some recently reported health news:
"'One of the moms said she had read about [how the juice is made] and they held it in tanks for up to a year and it pretty much lost all of its flavor and had to be reinvigorated with these flavor packs, which are essentially chemicals," said Murakhver, 40, and co-author of "They Eat What?: A Cultural Encyclopedia of Weird and Exotic Food from around the World.'
'For the last 30 years, the citrus industry has used flavor packs to process what the Food and Drug Administration identifies as 'pasteurized' orange juice. That includes top brands such as Tropicana, Minute Maid, Simply Orange and Florida Natural, among others."
