How do you read the Best Before date code on your tetra cartons?
Sun-Rype provides a best before date code on the 1L and 200 mL juice cartons. The codes should be read Year - Month - Day. A carton with a Best Before Date of "09DE04" would be December 4, 2009.
Are Sun-Rype packages recyclable?
Sun-Rype packages are recyclable where facilities are available, however, each province may have slightly differing guidelines and we would encourage you to check with your municipality for details.
Our plastic bottles are fully recyclable where facilities exist and safe for you and your family. The controversial chemical Bisphenol-A is not used as either a raw material source or an additive in the production of any of our plastic containers including Sun-Rype 100% juices in 1.36L or 3.78L; or in our Sun-Rype Apple Sauce containers. A plastic bottle marked with the #7 does not imply Bisphenol-A (BPA). Rather, it is intended only to help consumers and the recycling industry for the purpose of plastic container recycling and material sorting. The #7 indicator is the recycling code used for plastics that do not fit into the #1 - #6 designations. The #7 category includes several types of plastics that do not contain BPA.
How long can you store an opened carton of juice in the refrigerator?
Sun-Rype products do not contain preservatives, therefore, the product should be refrigerated after opening. To ensure optimum taste and freshness, the juice should be consumed within a 5-day period.
Is it safe to consume out-dated juice products?
To ensure optimum taste and freshness, we recommend that products be consumed before the best before date indicated on the container.
How do I remove a stain from my child's clothing?
Sun-Rype 100% juices are made with concentrates and purees from a variety of fruits and/or vegetables. Strawberry, cherry, raspberry, grape, beet, and carrot contain a natural pigment and some of our products have added colour. Following are a few suggestions for stain removal; however, Sun-Rype cannot guarantee that any of these suggestions will completely remove the stain.
- Check the Care Label on clothing before attempting to remove stain.
- Treat all stains as soon as possible.
- Avoid heat (iron or dryer), it can cause stain to set into fibres of fabric.
- Try simple methods first such as sponging with cold water. If possible, try normal washing with household detergent immediately after, rinse with cool water.
- Use a Stain Remover; however, prior to using any stain remover, test for colour change on a sample of the fabric, a piece of the hem or other exposed area. Use removers sparingly and follow the use directions.
We do not recommend freezing and thawing our juice box cartons, plastic jugs, glass bottles, or cans. The cartons are not designed to be frozen and could leak once the product starts to thaw. Expansion of the freezing juice may compromise the seal integrity of the container.
What should I do if the carton is bloated or leaking?
If the carton appears bloated, the product should not be consumed. It is clearly an indication that there may have been some sort of damage to the carton seal. Any compromise to the seal integrity allows air to enter, the carton to expand and juice may leak out.
Why does the apple sauce container have ridges and grooves? Could you not use a smooth container?
The plastic container was designed to hold up to the pressure of "hot-filled" sauce. Indentations are necessary to maintain the rigidity and integrity of the plastic. The smooth walled plastic packages you may be familiar with (such as peanut butter) are cold-filled and do not need to withstand the same temperature fluctuations.
How do you read the date code on the FruitSource and FruitSource Plus Veggie fruit bars?
The best before date code on our FruitSource and FruitSource Plus Veggie bars can be found on the back of the bar wrapper and under the seam. The code reads Year - Month - Day and a bar with a Best Before Date of "09DE04" would be December 4, 2009.
