Lakewood: Certified Organic Growing- Harvesting- Pressing- Bottling . Are Lakewood juices vegan?To the best of our knowledge and belief, Lakewood confirms that no animal products, derivatives, or animal by-products are used in any form in Lakewood organic fruit or vegetable juices- except for Lakewood Organic Lemon-Ginger Echinacea which contains honey. Lakewood concurs with The Vegan Society understanding - the word ‘animal’ refers to the entire Animal Kingdom, that is all (non-human) vertebrates and all multicellular invertebrates. Lakewood: Certified Organic Growing- Harvesting- Pressing- Bottling Which quality standards does Lakewood adhere to?The equipment used in our production process meets all applicable USDA and FDA specifications and requirements. Product labeling meets all current USDA, FDA, and Organic Standards. Lakewood: Certified Organic Growing- Harvesting- Pressing- Bottling How are Lakewood fruit juices made?Our juices start with fresh fruit. Once the fruit is picked, it is loaded onto the field trucks and transported to our processing plant, where it is washed, graded, selected, and separated. Next, the fruit is pressed and the puree or juice is passed through a finisher to remove excess pulp, seeds, and skin. Finally, our juice is bottled, and vacuum-sealed in new, clean, glass bottles. Lakewood: Certified Organic Growing- Harvesting- Pressing- Bottling Are all Lakewood juices vacuum-sealed in glass bottles?Yes, all Lakewood Juice Products are vacuum-sealed in air barrier glass containers to prevent fermentation or spoilage as long as the original seal is maintained. Lakewood: Certified Organic Growing- Harvesting- Pressing- Bottling Do any of your Lakewood products contain preservatives?None of our juices or aloe products contain preservatives -- "never had preservatives -- never will". Lakewood does not and never has used preservatives in any of their juices. In fact, Lakewood pioneered the modern bottling technique of adding lemon juice to pure aloe.

Lakewood: Certified Organic Growing- Harvesting- Pressing- Bottling Where can I find a store that carries Lakewood juices?Click here to find a store nearest you. (Contact the store for specific product availability) As new stores are opening regularly, please feel free to Contact Us to add a listing. Lakewood: Certified Organic Growing- Harvesting- Pressing- Bottling What is the shelf life of Lakewood juices?All Lakewood juices are vacuum sealed in glass bottles and do not require refrigeration. However, we encourage our distributors and retailers to maintain Lakewood Juice Products in a cool or air-conditioned environment as all fruit juices will lose flavor and color if they are not properly stored and rotated. For long term storage we suggest a refrigerated environment. Fruit juices packed in glass bottles should not be frozen. Freezing will cause the vacuum seal to rupture, and the juice will ferment upon thawing. Because our fresh pressed juices contain no preservatives, bottles that have been opened should be refrigerated and consumed within 2 weeks. After that period of time, fruit juices will begin their natural fermentation and deterioration process. Some of our other products such as lemon juice, lime juice, and noni juice, due to their specific characteristics, may be stored in your refrigerator for several months without any significant deterioration. Lakewood: Certified Organic Growing- Harvesting- Pressing- Bottling Once I have opened a bottle, how long will the juice last in the refrigerator?Because our fresh pressed juices do not contain preservatives, bottles that have been opened should be refrigerated and consumed within 2 weeks. After that period of time, fruit juices will begin their natural fermentation and deterioration process. Some of our other products such as lemon juice, lime juice, and noni juice, due to their specific characteristics, may be stored in your refrigerator for several months without any significant deterioration. Lakewood: Certified Organic Growing- Harvesting- Pressing- Bottling Does Lakewood use any artificial sweeteners in their juice products?Lakewood does not use any artificial sweeteners, fillers or additives. All Lakewood Juices are made from fresh fruit and are 100% natural. Lakewood: Certified Organic Growing - Harvesting - Pressing - Bottling Are Lakewood organic juices GMO free?Genetically Engineered/Modified Organisms (GEO/GMOs) are not compatible with the principles of organically grown fruit & vegetables. Lakewood: Certified Organic Growing - Harvesting - Pressing - Bottling What is the difference between Pure Cranberry and Cranberry Blend?Pure Cranberry contains only the juice pressed from fresh cranberries. Since there is nothing added to our 100% Pure Cranberry juice it will naturally have a bitter and acidic taste; therefore, this juice is most often consumed for medicinal purposes. For your drinking pleasure, we suggest combining our 100% Pure Cranberry with pure water or another Lakewood juice, such as apple or grape. Our Cranberry Blend is a milder alternative offering a mixture of pure cranberry, apple, and grape juice. Please note that seasonal availability of fresh fruits and vegetables may affect the specific label information and product flavor profiles of Lakewood Juice Products. Lakewood: Certified Organic Growing - Harvesting - Pressing - Bottling What does "Best By" mean?Lakewood Juices have a “Best By” date printed on the cap. "Best By " is the date recommended for best flavor and quality. It is not a purchase or safety date. The date is provided by Lakewood as an indication of how long the juice will remain at its best quality when the product has remained sealed and properly stored. After the Best By date has passed, you may start to notice gradual changes in the color or flavor of the juice.
