OP here - thanks for the heads up. I'll check it out on Google, too.

OP - thanks, PPs! Very helpful.

For milk, I think that means it's pasteurized at 160 degrees - the lowest temp that will effectively kill the bacteria.

It's flash pasteurization. Essentially, the juice goes from cold to 165 degrees to cold again in less than 60 seconds. This keeps nutrients, etc., intact in juice.

Juice really doesn't need to be pasteurized as long as it's fresh (just like an orange doesn't need to be pasteurized). But pasteurization removes some micro-organisms (and yeast) and gives a longer shelf life.

I'm avoiding all unpasteurized dairy and some non dairy while pregnant. A bottle of Naked juice reads "gently pasteurized." What does this mean - is it semi-pasteurized?
