Tropicana® delivers positive nutrition with easy-to-drink, great tasting juices. We never add sugar to our 100% juices as we believe the delicious fruity taste of the juice is enough in itself. Fruits have naturally occurring sugars, sugar that is naturally found in whole, unprocessed foods, such as fruits.
For most people it is a question of personal preference and taste. Juice from concentrate has water removed at source (i.e. where the fruit is harvested and processed) and then added back later on. Some people believe that juice which is not from concentrate has a better flavour than juice which is made from concentrate.
No artificial sweeteners here – both flavours are sweetened with Stevia (steviol glycosides & reb a, which is a stevia extract).
We’ve introduced new bottle designs for our orange juice and premium juice drinks based on feedback we’ve received from consumers about the ease of opening, handling and storage of our bottles. We did extensive research over the past year to understand what consumers desire in packaging. We explored hundreds of designs and created physical prototypes that consumers could interact with. The new bottle designs ultimately reflect what consumers preferred, focused on a package that is easy to open, pour and store. They’re also made with less plastic.
Because of increasingly unpredictable weather patterns caused by climate change, we’ve experienced a +327% increase in the commodity cost of concentrated orange juice since 2019. Severe weather events and crop diseases continue to impact the world’s production. Because of this situation, we are partnering with our key suppliers to invest in and support the orange crops on which we rely. We work closely with orange growers and our local citrus industry to collaborate on growing practices and support different short and long-term strategies to maximize crop yield. Tropicana’s grower relationships date back to the beginning of the creation of the brand, and we play an active role leadership role with various critical organizations. We sit as an allied member on the Florida citrus industry organizations boards, including Florida Citrus Commission and the Florida Citrus Processors Association.
The new bottles are made with 14-18% less plastic overall, with most of the plastic reduction coming directly from using less material in the bottle caps (at least 50% less), and not due to smaller bottle sizes.

Like many companies, we’re not immune to the realities of inflation and increased costs. While these costs are not the primary reason we changed the overall look of our bottles, our decision to decrease bottle sizes will help offset them, while allowing us to continue offering consumers the same great taste of our beverages that they know and love, for the price they know and expect.
At Tropicana® , our goal is always to offer the highest quality products at a competitive price, and we are doing this with no changes to our orange juice recipe.
