Drinks & Juice

Juice and drinks can refer to a variety of beverages, including fruit juice, soft drinks, tea, and coffee: 

  • Juice: A drink made from the natural liquid of fruits and vegetables. Juice can be made by squeezing or pressing the fruit, and it can be used in foods and other beverages. There are several types of juice, including simple juices, concentrated juices, dehydrated juices, and nectarine juices. 
  • Soft drinks: A popular beverage that is often sweetened with sugar. Some studies have linked the overconsumption of sugar-sweetened soft drinks to obesity, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and other health concerns. 
  • Tea and coffee: Beverages that can be processed and packaged for consumption. 
Juice and drinks can be packaged in different ways, which affects their shelf life:
  • Long-life juices
    These juices are usually pasteurized and can last for six to 12 months if kept sealed.
  • Short-life juices
    These juices have a shelf life of up to 30 days and need to be kept chilled
