A Stirling based drinks company is celebrating after securing a deal with a national supermarket to stock two of its freshly squeezed juices.
Asda has agreed to stock Get Juiced’s apple and orange juices in its 53 Scottish stores.
The deal has also meant that Get Juiced has been able to increased its workforce, creating another nine jobs.
The firm uses a unique pasteurisation process to increase the shelf-life of its juices. The process is the result of a collaboration between advanced microwave technologies and the Food Innovation Department at Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh.
Get Juiced is the first drinks company to use this form of technology to enhance the shelf life of its products.
Gary Brown, company director of Get Juiced said: "We are delighted to have secured our first branded supermarket listing with Asda.
"At Get Juiced our priority is to deliver fantastic quality products, service and value. Our 100% freshly squeezed fruit juice is made in Scotland from the finest quality fruits sourced from both home and abroad.
"In fact, the fruits that we use are of such high quality that we even have farmers coming to our plant three or four times a week to collect the fruit waste which is then fed to the local cows."
The product comes in one litre cartons and is available in Asda stores across Scotland.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
