No.  Freezing the fresh-cut apples causes them to turn brown and soggy almost immediately after they thaw.  Slices and chunks should NEVER be placed in frozen storage.

Yes.  For best freshness and optimal flavor we recommend that all multi-serve containers be refrigerated after opening.  None refrigeration of the product will result in a shortened shelf-life; therefore, we do not recommend this practice.   

Indicators of spoilage would include a change in flavor, smell or appearance. Smells like vinegar, alcohol, wine or beer would indicate that the product has started to turn.   At this point we suggest discarding the remainder. 

Tree Top apple juice does not contain any preservatives, therefore, once open we recommend about a week in the refrigerator. 

19 days from the date of production, under optimal handling and storage conditions.  It is critical that they be kept between 34° 3 38°F to ensure the slices reach their full shelf-life potential.

Tree Top fresh-cut apple products should be stored between 34° - 38°F in order to achieve their full shelf-life of 19 days, and must never be frozen.  Care should also be taken to keep them from staying out at room temperature for any extended length of time.  The more exposure to temperatures outside of the recommended range will result in a reduction of shelf-life.  It's also advised that fresh-cut apple products not be stored in proximity to onions or other strong-smelling products as these odors will be absorbed by the slices, affecting their flavor.

Just like whole apples from the market, fresh apple slices and chunks are not a pasteurized food product.  Because of this, we do not recommend that fresh-cut apple products be consumed past the date code printed on the package, regardless of their appearance.

NatureSeal is merely a blend of calcium and vitamin C and is completely safe for consumption.  NatureSeal contains no sulfites, allergens, or preservatives and is approved for use in organic produce.

Tree Top implemented the use of Best By dates on its products in early 2007.  The shelf life on our products differs from the type of juice to the size of the container it is in.  Please know that the Best By date which is printed on the container will reflect the shelf life through that date, un-opened.

Yes, all of our Tree Top juice and apple sauce are gluten and casein free.

Yes and no.

Yes, in fact it's a healthier way to bake.

Substitute oil or butter with Tree Top Natural apple sauce in a recipe for less fat, cholesterol and fewer calories!

Baking ratio: half oil & half apple sauce or straight across exchange.

It will depend on what you are baking. In order for a recipe to hold up, you may want to use a little oil to help the product bind.

Tree Top cannot provide a 100% guarantee that products which contain ascorbic acid are free from corn or corn derivatives.  The ascorbic acid used by Tree Top is manufactured through a fermentation and purification process utilizing a corn-based substrate.  The ingredient suppliers state that trace amounts of corn or corn derivatives may be present in the ascorbic acid ingredient.

Additionally, any product containing high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) may contain corn derivatives.  Please note that all Tree Top and Seneca apple sauce (including Tree Top Natural apple sauce) also contain ascorbic acid.

No, Tree Top does not add any type of sugar to our 100% fruit juices. The sugars that are listed in the nutrition facts come from the fruit. These are known as natural sugars.

No.  NatureSeal allows the apple slices to retain their natural flavor.

Tree Top, Inc. has a documented HAACP program for every process line.

Apple juice is not a particularly rich source of vitamins. Tree Top fortifies a lot of our apple juice with Vitamin C, and you can tell by looking at the nutrition facts part of the label, or the ingredient statement if Vitamin C has been added. While apple juice isn’t high in vitamins, it is high in what are called “phytonutrients” such as flavonoids and antioxidants that have been found to be beneficial to good health.

The USDA's National Organic Program is intended to assure consumers that the organic foods they purchase are produced, processed, and certified to be consistent with national organic standards.

Our Tree Top Organic Apple Juice and Apple Sauce are Certified USDA ORGANIC.

Any fruit or 100% Juice counts as part of the Fruit Group.  In fact, drinking 100% Fruit Juice is an easy way to boost your fruit servings each day.

According to the USDA MyPyramid food program, 100% juices can be appropriate substitutes for whole fruits.

The following counts as 1 cup of fruit:

    = 1 small apple

    = 1 cup 100% Fruit Juice (like 100% Apple Juice)

     = 1 cup Apple Sauce

For apple or other juices, ½ cup of fruit juice is equal to one fruit exchange.

The slices are bathed in NatureSeal-a solution that is a blend of calcium and ascorbic acid (Vitamin C).  This allows the fresh-cut apple slices to maintain their color, texture and freshness for 19 days when handled and stored properly.

Yes, all of our Tree Top cans are recyclable. 

Yes, all of our plastic containers are recyclable.

Although these containers are food grade, we do not recommend freezing product in these containers.

Although these containers are food grade, we do not recommend reusing them.

You’re speaking of CRV-California Redemption Value.

CRV applies to aluminum, plastic, glass or metal beverage containers marked with the "CRV" designation or that are considered a single serve container.  Our 46 oz and larger plastic containers do not qualify for the CRV but are still recyclable.

Yes, and here's why...

Recycling symbols are used to classify plastics for recycling. Symbols 1-6 indicate the plastic in the container is made from defined materials. If the container doesn't fall neatly into one of those categories, it is assigned a "7". Tree Top uses plastic containers made from PETE (symbol 1) and polypropylene (PP symbol 5). Because there is an oxygen barrier, which helps to keep juice fresh, in our bottles, they carry both a "5 compatible" and a "7" symbol; however, there is no polycarbonate material in them.

According to the current information, it is the polycarbonate material (Bisphenol-A) that is leaching from plastic containers, which may or may not be a health hazard. None of our packaging materials contain this type of material.

Both our juice bottles and apple sauce containers are in compliance with the US and Canadian Food Packaging regulations.

Yes we do!

It is called Tree Top Three Apple Blend.  You might wonder three apples...

This is our premium juice that has a hand-crafted recipe of 3 specific apples.  It’s a unique blend of tart granny smith, red and golden delicious apples.  This gives the juice that crisp apple taste the whole family will enjoy.  It's like apples you pressed yourself, only we've done the work for you.

Tree Top 100% fruit juices are available from many distributors throughout the country.  Please contact a Tree Top Foodservice Sales Manager to learn more about availability in your area.  To find a sales manager for your region, please see our Contact Us page.

If we can not locate product within your area, product can be ordered through our Tree Top Outlet Store.

It means that it is never from concentrate.  It's like the apples you pressed yourself or run through your home juicer. 

From concentrate means the removal of much of the water from the juice.  Resulting in a thick syrup seven times the strength of the original juice.  The removal of water is achieved by using an evaporator where steam heat and a vacuum help with the removal process.

The only difference in the two is in the acidity content.  The apple cider has more of a tarter flavor than the apple juice but both are processed exactly alike.  In other words we use more of a tarter blend of apples for the cider resulting in the tarter flavor that we all have become accustomed to.

Tree Top fresh apple slices, chunks, and wedges are available from many distributors and produce suppliers throughout the country.  Please contact a Tree Top Foodservice Sales Manager to learn more about availability in your area.  To find a sales manager for your region, please see our Contact Us page.

No.  Our apples go through a series of washings before they move by conveyor to a fruit disintegrator, which is much like a large and powerful blender.  Here the apples are broken into small bite-size fragments which go through decanters and centrifuges where the solids are removed.

If you have concerns regarding a product, please notify us by visiting the Contact Us page or by calling our Consumer Office line at 1-800-542-4055, Monday - Friday 9AM-4PM PST.

On average 50 tons of juicers every hour are washed in a huge rotary drum going through four-stages of washings.  A conveyor moves the fruit to the disintegrator, which is much like a large and powerful blender.  Here the apples are broken into small pieces reducing them to bite-size fragments.

Apple fragments move to the decanters and centrifuges where the juice is separated from the solids.  The juice is then clarified through a multi-stage process until what remains is pure, cloudless, amber-colored juice.
