    Allowed additives - whatever that means.

    I remember reading that the NFC juices can sit in Vats for up to a year, you're aswell just buy whatever you have a taste for when u shopping.

    TIL Tropicana OJ is owned by Pepsico and Simply Orange by Coca Cola. They strip the juice of oxygen for better storage, which strips the flavor. They then hire flavor and fragrance companies, who also formulate perfumes for Dior, to engineer flavor packs to add to the juice to make it "fresh."

    just google the whole sentence it will direct you to more info

    Allowed additives would include the likes of citric acid, malic acid, sometimes milk extracts- but they have to declare these separately, potassium derivatives etc.

    Many of these are naturally occuring in fruit to begin with- so even if the list might look scarey, it doesn't really mean anything (the additional citric acid will give some extract tang to orange juice for example- anyone who cooks probably has a jar of it for adding in as they cook- I put a little in carrots for example).

    Allowed additives- very often are constituents that would be there naturally in the first instance- but that may add to shelf life, or taste.
