At Fruitavit Naturally: We adopt industry standard handling, shipping and storage procedures.
The global juice industry relies on specialized transportation and shipping methods to maintain quality and freshness. Bulk transport often involves tankers and specialized carriers, while smaller quantities may be shipped in drums or containers. Juice concentrates are typically transported in frozen conditions (-18°C to -25°C). Aseptic bags offer flexibility and potential cost-savings.
