Tropicana Orange Juice with Bits

Tropicana is one of the world's most recognized fruit juice brands. Originally founded in Bradenton, Florida, by Anthony T. Rossi, the brand pioneered the flash pasteurization process that allowed fresh-tasting orange juice to be shipped across long distances.

While the brand was a long-time staple of the PepsiCo portfolio, its ownership underwent a significant change in recent years. In 2021, PepsiCo sold a majority stake in its juice business to PAI Partners, a leading private equity firm. This led to the formation of Tropicana Brands Group, a joint venture where PAI Partners holds the controlling interest while PepsiCo retains a minority stake and distribution rights in various regions.

The product shown is specifically packaged for the UK and Irish markets, as indicated by the Reading and Cork addresses on the label. Manufacturing for these markets typically occurs in regional facilities across Europe to maintain freshness and minimize shipping times, though the raw orange juice is sourced from global citrus-growing regions like Florida and Brazil.
