High-pressure processing (HPP) and cold-press beverage producers rely on acidulants and antioxidants to manage pH and oxidation without heat treatment, since HPP does not inactivate enzymes the way pasteurisation does.
Fruit-based and functional beverages sold in the EU fall under the Fruit Juices and Certain Similar Products Directive framework and Regulation (EC) No 1925/2006 where vitamins or minerals are added, both of which require ingredient-level compliance documentation. In the US, equivalent oversight sits with the FDA under applicable food additive and labelling regulations, and we document against whichever framework applies to your market.
