About Rica Orange Juice
Rica Orange Juice was launched by Pasteurizadora Rica in 1970, the same year as its Choco Rica chocolate milk, and was one of the company's first moves beyond raw pasteurized milk into packaged consumer beverages. It remains part of Grupo Rica's juice and drinks range today, sold alongside other 100 percent and low-sugar juice lines the company has since added.
