What is NFC juice?
NFC stands for not from concentrate. NFC juice is pressed directly from fresh fruit and pasteurised without any intermediate concentration or water removal. The juice goes from fruit to packaging in a single process, which means the natural flavour profile, colour and aroma are preserved far closer to the original fruit than in juice-from-concentrate (JFC) products.
In juice-from-concentrate production, water is evaporated under heat to reduce transport volume, then re-added before bottling or filling. This thermal process changes the aromatic profile and typically requires added flavours to partially restore the original taste. NFC avoids this entirely.
For importers and buyers — beverage producers, ice cream manufacturers and foodservice distributors — NFC juice delivers a more consistent and authentic flavour base, which matters especially in premium product lines where ingredient quality is visible to the end consumer.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between NFC juice and juice from concentrate — and why does it matter for importers and buyers?
NFC (not from concentrate) juice is pressed directly from fresh fruit, flash-pasteurised and packaged without any water removal or reconstitution step. Juice from concentrate (JFC) is evaporated to reduce volume, then reconstituted with water before packaging.
| Parameter | NFC juice | Juice from concentrate |
|---|---|---|
| Processing | Direct press, flash-pasteurised | Evaporated then reconstituted |
| Aroma retention | Higher — volatile compounds preserved | Lower — heat/evaporation affects aroma |
| Labelling (EU) | "Not from concentrate" — Directive 2012/12/EU | "From concentrate" — separate category |
| Price tier | Higher — premium retail and HoReCa | Lower — large-volume industrial blending |
| Best for | Premium SKUs, HoReCa, "fresh-squeezed style" claims | Cost-sensitive blends, industrial nectar production |
