Drinking Unpasteurized Juices The FDA has warned against the consumption of unpasteurized juices by pregnant women, children, the elderly and anyone with a weakened immune system. Unpasteuirzed juices are juices that have not been treated to kill any harmful bacteria that could be present. They are sold in bottles or by the glass, such as freshly squeezed orange juice. Unpasteurized juice that is sold in a bottle is found in the refrigerated section of the supermarket. By law it has to carry the following warning label:

WARNING: This product has not been pasteurized and therefore, may contain harmful bacteria that can cause serious illness in children, the elderly, and persons with weakened immune systems.

The bacteria that can be found in unpasteurized juice are known to cause an illness called listeriosis. This same type of bacteria is also found in deli or lunch meats, hot dogs, and unpasteurized milk and milk products.

If you are unsure whether or not a juice has been pasteurized, either don’t drink it or boil it in an open container in order to kill any bacteria present.
