Are Rubicon Exotic Juice Drinks suitable for Halal consumption?
Our policy is to inform you of the status of each of our products so
you can decide if it is a drink for you. Let me explain why. Some of our products contain a very tiny trace amount of ethanol-maximum 0.055%-and most of them contain much less than this. Ethanol is an alcohol widely used in soft drinks for extracting or dissolving flavours which is authorised for use under EU law for this purpose. The concentration is so low that it hav no intoxicating effect and a product containing this amount would generally be regarded as accaptable within a Halal diet. However, it is for you to make your own decision on this matter. For more comprehensive list of product claims and suitability, please contact us at info@rubiconexotic.com
Are Rubicon Exotic Juice Drinks suitable for Vegan and Vegetarian diets?
The majority of the Rubicon and Sun Exotic drinks are suitable for a vegan diet. However, our:
- Rubicon Pineapple & Coconut 1L
- Sun Exotic Pineapple & Coconut 1L & 288ml
- Sun Exotic Fruit Paradise 1L & 288ml
are the exceptions. They are not suitable for vegans or people suffering from a milk allergy as they contain Sweetened Condensed Skimmed Milk.
I am dairy intolerant - do any of the Rubicon or Sun Exotic juices contain dairy?
The majority of our Rubicon drinks are suitable and do not contain any dairy. The exceptions to this are:
- Rubicon Pineapple & Coconut 1L
- Sun Exotic Pineapple & Coconut 1L & 288ml
- Sun Exotic Fruit Paradise 1L & 288 ml
I have recently discovered the delights of your Rubicon Coconut water. I have only been able to buy the product in 250ml cartons. Is it possible to purchase it in 1Ltr cartons?
Coconut Water once opened from the carton should be consumed almost immediately, as the product is sensitive. Therefore it is only packed in a single shot size. (However Coconut related flavoured drinks, such as our Pineapple & Coconut Juice Drink is packed in the 1 litre size with a more stable blend, than just pure Coconut Water).
Rubicon Coconut Water Drink contains 98% coconut water from selected Philippine coconuts. Upon opening the nut, the water is gently sterilised, flavour enhanced and packed to retain the inherent quality, flavour and freshness. Not only is it a wonderfully refreshing thirst-quencher, it is also an ideal refreshing drink for both adults and children.
The UN Food and Agricultural Organisation Fresh has declared that fresh coconut water is a natural isotonic, energy drink - biologically pure, tasty and full of naturally occurring salts, sugars and vitamins. It has the same level of electrolytic balance as we have in our blood - “it’s the fluid of life, so to speak”.
What’s a Guanabana?
No it’s not a weird fruit and it’s not a mixture of Banana and Guava!
Guanabana is a fruit as shown on the front of our packs. It is known by a lot of different names such as Soursop, Custard Apple, Cherimoya or Sitaphal. Click on Fruity Facts for more info.
Are Rubicon products all 100% juices?
Exotic fruits, such as Mango or Guava, have very thick pulp and cannot be made into the 100% juice of a single fruit. Rubicon drinks are created to produce the best taste and mouth feel for the consumer’s overall enjoyment. The recipes include water to gain the correct consistency for the perfect drink and sugar is added to regain the perfect sweetness level of the original fruit.
Rubicon drinks aim to replicate a near perfect fluid version of the named exotic fruit and have the same number of calories as a 100 juice. (ie. orange juice - approx 50 kcals per 100ml).
Some other brands are blended with cheaper juices such as apple or grape to claim a 100% juice product but Rubicon is passionate about producing exotic juice drinks with the real authentic flavour of only one single fruit per product. Take Mango for example. Some mango-tasting products position themselves as 100% juice but they are not 100% Mango Juice! These products are blended with cheaper juices and could contain only a small amount of Mango juice. The addition of these other base fruits obviously affects the overall flavour. Some people may enjoy these drinks but if you’ve eaten mango fruit, and you want a drink that tastes really like the mango fruit, then Rubicon is the drink for you. All Rubicon drinks taste more like the real fruit than any other drink. Why not look at Me, where you have said nice things about us in the past.
