KNOWWHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN SHOPPING

Juice that is pasteurized may not say so on the label. Follow these

guidelines for selecting juice products. Unpasteurized Juice is

normally found in the refrigerated sections of grocery or health food

stores or at cider mills or farm markets. Unpasteurized juice should

have warning information on the label or on a nearby sign. *

Pasteurized Juice is normally found as frozen concentrated juice or

in non-refrigerated shelf-stable containers, such as juice boxes,

bottles, or cans. Pasteurized juice can also be found in the

refrigerated sections of stores.

* This warning information will appear either on product labels or on

signs located near where the juice is sold, beginning on September

8, 1998, for apple juice and cider and beginning in November 1998,

for all other juice products. By November 1999, all unpasteurized or

untreated juice products will contain the warning on the label only.
