100% Orange Juice, No Pulp
What it is
This is a beverage made from 100% pure orange juice. It has been pasteurized, a process that heats the juice to kill harmful bacteria and extend its shelf life. The absence of pulp means the juice has a smooth texture, with no solid pieces of orange flesh or membranes. It is a common and widely available drink.
