Microbiological Quality of Commercial Fruit Juices

 Fruit juices are used for their nutritional value, thirst quenching properties and stimulating effect or for their medicinal values. Due to poor hygienic conditions during processing and packaging, fruit juices are becoming a health hazard. Many outbreaks are caused by consuming poor quality juices. Foodborne infections are caused by eating food or drinking beverages contaminated with bacteria and parasites. Most of the foodborne infections remain undiagnosed and unreported due to poor documentation system and failure in the implementation of law regarding foodborne diseases in Pakistan. The present study was conducted to compare the quality of commercial fruit juices so as to provide data for local authorities to deal food security issue.
