As if you didn’t have enough to worry about during pregnancy or nursing around the clock, to then find out that raw juices are actually off-bound too, you’d probably think someone is pulling your leg. 

 

Unfortunately however, this is the true. Not many people are actually aware, that unpasteurised fruit and vegetable juices can carry disease-causing bacteria such as salmonella and E. coli, which can not only make you sick but can also occasionally be passed on to your baby. 

 

Therefore it’s important that all juices are pasteurised to help kill harmful bacteria but this can sometimes involve heat which can also kill off the good stuff too. 

 

Here at Essential Juices we pasteurise our organic fruit & vegtables through a process called HPP.

High Pressure Processing is a cold pasteurisation technique that is a natural, environmentally friendly process which respects the ingredient and helps maintain the fresh food characteristics like flavour and nutrients.
