Dole Pineapple

[Guest guest]

I think I read somewhere that you are not necessarily

recommending 'Dole pineapple in its own juice' anymore. Is that

correct? I was at the store the other day and saw some. Out of

curiosity I read the ingredients.

These are both labeled as being in its own juice.

The 'Crushed Pineapple' said pineapple and pineapple juice.

The 'Pineapple Slices' said pineapple, pineapple juice, water, and

clarified pineapple juice concentrate.

If I remember correctly, the 'Pineapple in pineapple juice' had the

same ingredients as the slices did. I wonder why there is a

difference between the ones labeled 'in it's own juice.' Between the

two listed above, which one has the same ingredients as the one that

was previously recommended? Maybe it would still be OK to use one of

them and we just need to read the ingredients to differentiate.

Sharon,

Deciphering Dole is no easy task. Del Monte makes good pineapple packed in its

own

juice. Dole says the sweetness of the fruit varies seasonally and they

compensate by

adding some corn stuff. If it is packed IN ITS OWN JUICE it is legal. If it is

packed IN

PINEAPPLE JUICE it is not.
