Old South (orange juice)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Old South is the name of a brand of frozen concentrated orange juice (FCOJ) sold in Canada since 1939. It produces a number of different kinds of orange juice, as well as other fruit juices. The brand was formerly owned by the Pasco Beverage Company, a citrus growers' cooperative, and was bought by Louis Dreyfus Citrus, the third largest orange juice producer in the world, which is owned by the Louis Dreyfus Group.[1]

McCain Foods Ltd. purchased the Old South Brand in 2000 in exchange for selling its citrus operation in the United States. Old South is the third-largest selling frozen juice concentrate brand in Canada.[2]

McCain Foods (Canada) has sold its frozen beverage business in 2013 to Louis Dreyfus Canada, part of the Louis Dreyfus Commodities Group.[3]
