    WHAT SIZE PACKAGING DOES ARAZA OFFER?

    We offer packaging in aseptic bag-in-box and aseptic drums. Each fruit will list the different size packaging that is available.

    DO YOUR ASEPTIC JUICES & PUREES CONTAIN ADDED SUGAR?

    No, our purees & juices line do not contain added sugar. The only product that contains added sugar is Cream of Coconut 12-14%.

    DO YOUR ASEPTIC JUICES & PUREES CONTAIN ALCOHOL?

    No. 

    ARE YOUR ASEPTIC JUICES & PUREES CLEAN LABEL?

    Most of our products do not have any additives and are super clean label. We only have additives where absolutely necessary, based on the characteristics of the particular fruit or ingredient. If you click on the product, the ingredients are listed for full transparency.

    DO YOUR PRODUCTS REQUIRE REFRIGERATION? 

    No, the products can be transported in ambient conditions. However, the optimal storage conditions are listed for each product. For many of our products, we transport and store them in refrigerated conditions to ensure maximum quality. This is another point of differentiation, as some companies skip the cold-chain expense and need to add additional ingredients, such as ascorbic acid to their ingredients. When comparing alternatives, be sure to compare the listed ingredients.

    WHERE IS ARAZA NATURAL PUREES LOCATED?

    Our headquarters is in Hagerstown, Maryland. We have warehouses strategically located in the US for nation-wide distribution in the US & Canada.

        ONCE THE BAG IS OPENED, IS IT STILL "ASEPTIC" AND SHELF-STABLE?

        No. Most of our customers use the entire amount of the bag or drum in their production. However, if you have some juice or puree left over, you must refrigerate it for use within two days or freeze it for use if more than two days.
