Orange Juice From Concentrate
11 Answers
does anyone know why Morrisons have stopped selling the small(200ml) cartons? as a diabetic I used to find them very handy to keep in my bag, also my grandchildren used to take them in their lunch boxes, very good since they hardly ever ate the fruit that their Mum used to put in for them but they will drink the juice, my diabetes clinic also told me to have this instead of lucozade since so much sugar has been taken out of it, (for hypo's)

They probably stopped selling them simply because enough people weren't buying them. (On a similar theme, I buy a lot of UHT milk but, because I've not got a fridge, I want to buy it in 1 pint cartons. Over the past year both Asda and Tesco have stopped selling them. It really annoys me because they don't seem to have saved any shelf space in their stores; they just put more 2 pint cartons out on display instead).
The nearest Morrison's can now offer seems to be 4 x 250ml bottles of 'not from concentrate' orange juice:

Aldi still sell 200ml cartons of orange juice as a three pack. I suspect this was a marketing decision as Morrisons were selling a three pack of 200ml orange juice in the Morrisons Savers range as well as a three pack of their 200ml standard orange juice again in a three pack. There was a considerable price difference between the two packs. The reality is that anything labelled "orange juice from concentrate" in the UK, is exactly the same quality as any other so-labelled orange juice regardless of whether it's packaged as a budget or savers range or has a pretty picture of an orange on the front of the carton. I suspect someone rather senior told them that the price disparity was unacceptable and illogical.
The reason is that almost all "orange juice from concentrate" comes into the UK via Avonmouth at the grand-sounding International Juice Terminal and is tankered to a limited number of plasticised cardboard carton packagers for final distribution to supermarkets etc. It's the same stuff regardless of whether you buy it in Waitrose or Aldi no matter what supermarkets etc would have you believe.
Anything labelled "not from concentrate" is a different story.

Bazile:
The orange juice is pasteurised and filtered. Then, by a combination of heat and vacuum pressure it's evaporated to remove most of the water. Lastly it's frozen.
With a much smaller volume than it started with, and with the freezing process having greatly increased its shelf life, it can then be transported cheaply across the world.
On arrival at a processing plant close to where the end product will be sold, it's defrosted and the missing water content is replaced.

The product is not always frozen when it reaches the packager Chris. The EJT has dedicated Blending Houses where both concentrated and frozen concentrated orange juice is diluted to the strength of the juice we buy at the supermarket. It's a complex process that involves precise Brix measurements and detection and removal of undesirable by-products that are sometimes formed during the juice journey aboard cargo ships. Pasteurization also takes place at these facilities. UK packages simply do not have the facilities to carry out these tasks - I often come across people that think the concentrate is chucked in a tank and a worker turns on a water tap until the sg of the mix is the same as natural orange juice. Nothing could be further from the truth. A high proportion of the concentrated juice that arrives at the EJT is in the chilled state, resembling slush, rather than frozen. It's easier to pump that way and a full tanker can be emptied in about 12 hours using the onboard pumps
