At Safeway today I was looking at the list of ingredients
in some Tropicana orange juice in the carton to see if it
was from concentrate, and this is what it said:
Ingredients: orange juice. Contains tilapia, sardines, anchovies.
Yikes! Fish in my OJ! No way! I am not kidding.
I'm thinking, what, is it pureed? Chunky? Is this
what they mean when the label says contains pulp?
Upon further investigation, I discovered that it contained fish oil.
I DON'T WANT FISH OIL IN MY ORANGE JUICE!
Couldn't the Tropicana people get a bit more
specific on their label??!! Perhaps, tilapia oil, sardine oil, etc.
But, now that I think of it, that isn't much more appealing.
No thanks, no Tropicana for me.
And why do we even have fish oil products in organge juice, anyway? What ever happened to only the juice of oranges? Yuck.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the fish oil is in there to satisfy our desire for Omega-3 fatty acids? Kind of weird how the current push for healthy foods really adds up to more processing. Thanks for the heads up!
ReplyDeleteEm: Upon further investigation, I did indeed discover an Omega-3 icon on the front of the carton.....but I'm beginning to get rather fond of the idea of fish parts floating in my juice (just kidding)!
