How is bacteria killed in fruit juice to make it safe for unrefrigerated store shelves?

Posted on March 30th, 2010, by

There are several types of packaging for fruit juice for unrefrigerated store shelves. The oldest common one is the 46 ounce can. What happens with the 46 ounce can to kill the bacteria? Most cans of most types of food get cooked in the sealed can. But fruit juice isn’t the type of food that would normally be cooked. So what do they do instead? And what about the other types of packaging, such as sealed plastic bottles?

    They do "cook" or boil the juice and water anyway, and it’s sealed in the containers in a sterile environment.
