My kids love Sun-Rype juices. Can they actually drink too much juice in a day?
Juice should be consumed in moderation as part of a healthy, balanced diet. Our 100% juices have been approved by Health Check™, a program created by the Heart & Stroke Foundation to help consumers identify products that are part of an overall healthy diet. To help ensure that you and your family are eating right, we recommend the following:
- Juice should be consumed in moderation as part of a healthy active lifestyle.
- Juice should not replace milk especially for small children.
- Everyone should get 5 to 10 servings of fruit and vegetables each day, as recommended in Canada's Food Guide to Healthy Eating.
- For further information regarding foods and nutrition for your family, we always recommend you talk to your local dietician or healthcare professional.
Yes, we do. Why? Because many nutrients, like the Vitamin C we add to our juices, are good for your body. A lot of the goodness in our products comes naturally from fruits and vegetables, but we also add extra nutrients that are key to the growth and maintenance of healthy bodies.
Are Sun-Rype products Pasteurized?
Absolutely! All Sun-Rype juice and beverage products are pasteurized. To attain ultimate product safety, all Sun-Rype juice and beverage products are pasteurized which helps them last longer. Nutrients and flavour are minimally affected by pasteurization.
What are antioxidants?
Antioxidants help protect our body's cells from damage, which ultimately helps us live healthier, more active lives. Naturally occurring processes like digestion and physical activity, as well as exposure to such things as pollution, chemicals, smoke and radiation from the sun, cause the formation of 'free radicals' within our bodies. These free radicals damage body tissue through a process known as oxidation. When we consume foods high in antioxidants, they work to prevent free radicals from damaging cells in our body. Apples and apple-based products contain Vitamin C and several flavonoids, which act as antioxidants.
Do Sun-Rype products contain preservatives?
No, there are no preservatives in any Sun-Rype products.
What is the difference between concentrate and not from concentrate?
Sun-Rype 100% Not From Concentrate Apple Juice is a "not from concentrate product". The apples are harvested and shipped to our facility for processing and packaging. Sun-Rype's manufacturing facility is located in a region that has access to a good supply of apples. However, Sun-Rype also manufactures juices that contain juices from concentrate.
The concentration process involves heating the juice to evaporate some of the water contained in the juice, while still maintaining the taste. This removal of water makes the concentrate a lot easier and cost efficient to transport. Then in the juice manufacturing process, water is added back to reconstitute the juice concentrates to obtain a premium quality product.
