NFC Juices & Juice Concentrates

NFC means not-from-concentrate: juice that is pasteurized and packed at single strength without being concentrated and reconstituted. It is typically chosen for premium juices; concentrate is chosen for lower freight and storage cost.

By Brix (sugar solids), acidity, Brix-to-acid ratio and whether clarified or cloudy. Citrus juices such as lemon and lime are often specified in GPL (grams of citric acid per liter).

Minimums depend on the item. Many ingredients can be ordered by the case or bag; pricing improves at pallet, tote and truckload volumes. Every quote states the minimum (MOQ), pack, lead time and FOB or delivered price.

A specification sheet and certificate of analysis (COA) for every lot, plus an allergen statement and country of origin. Pasteurization or sterilization letters, micro results and organic or Non-GMO certificates are supplied where the item carries them.
