It was made in China....Got to be very careful of stuff from there. I know I will never buy Capri Sun again....



I NEVER buy any food or beverages that aren't made in the US (that I am aware of at least).



Same here, I chew DH ear off when, even when he buys veggies from countries with poor agricultural practices.

The united states would go hungry if we all stopped eating food that was produced elsewhere. If more people would be vigilant about it, I'm sure the big companies would wake up. But with so many of us on budgets and looking for good prices we often turn a blind eye to where and how our food is produced.

They make tons of money off people who want a good deal. And its not like they are misleading anyone, no one asks where is this made, and what exactly its made of (chemicals, pesticides, preservatives)

eta: I'm not trying to put anyone down, we are like this too, and fall into this trap.



I totally agree with you on this. I would love a list of companies that produce food only in the USA. I know how hard it is to do this, but I agree that if people banded together, the companies would have no choice but to change. Otherwise, it will get worse and worse.

omg, your poor friend!!

i really want to know what that is...

it looks very similar to a decaying peach that I once found in a Snapple Peach Iced Tea. And when we poured it out of the bottle, it had an AWFUL smell - almost like formaldehyde. I'm willing to bet its a piece of fruit.



Nic there's no real fruit in Capri SunChat Icon



Maybe someone in the factory was munching on some real fruit. That woud be great irony. Chat Icon



This variety of Capri Sun is 100% fruit juice. That's why I bought it. I never buy any drink that isn't 100% juice for DD.



It was just a joke. No offenseChat Icon

I have been freaked out by capri sun since I was a kid. I once sucked some long furry looking green thing through the straw. I was freaking out and the lunch ladies convinced me it was a piece of kiwi.. But, looking back.. I think it was a worm. I still can't drink Capri Sun. Chat Icon



Did you swallow it? OMG, how upsetting.
Chat Icon




That is BEYOND disgusting...that one pic made me think of a cow eye!! LOL but the rest of the pics looks like a piece of dried apple...still it should NOT be in a juice!!! Can't wait to hear what they say about it..


I didn't swallow it but, I spit it out and was totally freaked outChat Icon

WHOA...my DH and I are both totally speechless.

When you look at the up-close picture, the inside part has a grain to it...kinda like human skin Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

I think your friend was EXTREMELY smart to send it for independent testing. This way, Capri Sun can't just explain it away--because you know if it's something that REALLY shouldn't be in juice, they're not going to tell the truth about what it is.

I don't give DD juice, but it REALLY makes you wonder about what's inside those opaque pouches that you can't see Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

"the company offered to send us a check for $7 today, AND
their statement is that they think it will turn out to be mold. They're
coming to get a sample tomorrow to take to their lab, meanwhile we're
having it sent to an independent lab for testing."

$7?? Even if its mold, is this not a big deal??? Please keep us posted.

Wow...a whole $7? Chat Icon Her kids could have gotten very sick if they had drank it. You'd think they'd try to compensate a little more than $7.

Re: PSA-Capri Sun!!!! (UPDATE 6/10)

These updates make me more and more infuriated...."While unpleasant, it is not a safety issue" I can tell you right now, DH is HIGHLY allergic to mold. Two years ago, while helping my dad move an airconditioner, he got some mold in his eye....within hours he face and eye blew up and it was like that for 4 days. Since when is drinking mold NOT a safety issue?Chat Icon

Re: PSA-Capri Sun!!!! (UPDATE 6/10)

Even if it is mold, I don't understand why Kraft doesn't consider that to be an issue. That was a huge, ugly chunk of mold! I'm glad they sent it for independent testing & I am curious to see those results!

PS- Word really did get around! The link to this popped up on my FB wall today posted by a friend of mine in Michigan.

Re: PSA-Capri Sun!!!! (UPDATE 6/10)

How is mold not dangerous?? My mother and sister are both HIGHLY allergic to mold as are many many many people. I would consider something that is a known allergen to be dangerous.
