|
|
| I've never been sick from drinking OJ back home, but I get the runs around 70% of the time I drink OJ in Korea. I'm wondering if the OJ here is pasteurized or maybe it became bad during transport? |

Korean industry taking precautions to reduce the number of viable pathogens so they are unlikely to cause disease? doubt it.
Safety isn't as much a value here as back home, in soooo many ways. It's a cultural thing. |

Thanks for saying it for me.
OP, as with back home, check the ingredients, make sure it's 100% orange juice from concentrate... |

| I've tried numerous varieties of OJ here and never had any trouble with them. |

| I'm drinking it just fine, but don't like paying double to triple money for juice. |

Look around. I often get one of the Jeju brands on sale, around 1500W for 1.5L. |

| I always buy Tropicana OJ at Costco. 2 cartons of it for about 7,000. Much better than the Korean stuff they call 'orange juice'. |
