What it is
This is a pre-made lemonade beverage that has undergone pasteurization. Pasteurization is a process that heats the liquid to a specific temperature for a set amount of time to kill harmful bacteria. This makes the lemonade shelf-stable and safe for consumption without refrigeration until it is opened. It offers a convenient way to enjoy a classic citrus drink.
