Do you drink "Simply Orange" orange juice? I have for a very long time, because it is really the best-tasting orange juice I have ever enjoyed with breakfast--or any time my potassium or blood sugar needs a lift.
Up to a few months ago, when you went to remove the tamper-evident seal across the cap and bottle, the seal read "Kosher for Passover". Now it simply reads "Fresh Taste Guaranteed".
Anti-Semitism, or is the manufacturer making darn sure they don't offend muslims?
Nope. I believe it’s a matter of not offending Muzzies.
What does one have to do to make orange juice that isn’t Kosher?
Which one do you find more appealing?
Have you ever seen a label that said "Not Kosher"?
Simply Orange is owned by the Coca-Cola Company, which has bottlers in Indonesia, which is the largest Muslim country.
Coca-Cola offers more than 350 different brands in over 200 countries, aside from its namesake Coca-Cola beverage. I wonder how many of those practice anti-Semitism?
Peel the oranges with a muslim scimitar?
Why would an anti-Semitic company sell a product with a “Kosher for Passover” sticker in the first place?
The Passover label is seasonal?
Scrub the bottles with hog hair brushes or use soap made from lard would do it. The Rabbi must bless the food selection and the method of processing the food.
I think many manufacturers simply add labels as assurance that the food is acceptable during Passover. However, one can never be sure with a religion that has to follow over 600 rules to please God.
The irony is that store packaged OJ is worthless, anyway.
So that it will last longer, the first thing done to orange juice is to de-oxygenate it. This extends it shelf life from hours to weeks, but it also strips out its flavor and odor.
To put the flavor and odor back in, the OJ companies hire perfume makers to design a unique “orangey” flavor and odor that is entirely synthetic. This is why different brands taste different, but within the same brand their OJ tastes the same. No variation between crops.
So what consumers buy is pulpy water with perfume added. 100% orange and 100% fake.

The bottom line is that if you want honest orange juice, you have to buy oranges, squeeze them, and drink their juice in a day or two.
Maybe they don’t want to pay the Kosher tax any more. Does it still have a U or K kosher bug on the label somewhere? Have they changed their sourcing or manufacturing so that it isn’t Kosher for Passover any more?
And finally, did you ever stop to think that perhaps they are only going to label Kosher for Passover the stocks they are going to sell at Passover? (Hint, that isn’t any time soon.)
The old label would indicate that the juice was bottled for Passover and customers would assume the contents are old and stale.
Coca-Cola only sells Kosher for Passover Coke in neighborhoods that are heavily Jewish around here - I have to drive a bit and search out a store that has it if I want it. Perhaps the originally poster ventured into a Goyim neighborhood.
Kosher for Passover Coke uses real sugar instead of Corn Sugar. Maybe something similar in play here. But 777 seems eager to throw that victim card.
Add animal (pork sourced) gelatin as a thickener.
Process on equipment that is shared with processing treif products (gravy from meats that weren't properly slaughtered and contain blood, or a shellfish juice product like Clamato, for two examples)
Processing on equipment lubricated with animal fats (read lard).
I’m from Brooklyn, where products are only labelled for Passover around Passover.
Ah, that all makes sense.
I suppose Grey Goose is out of the question too then?
Fair enough!
The responses after mine elaborated well.
Who is saying that? I think the original poster is simply unaware that the "Kosher for Passover" stickers or addenda to the packaging are generally only present around Passover. There are quite a few products which feature "Kosher for Passover" designation year-round, but in my experience those are the kind of products produced especially for kosher consumers and found almost exclusively in kosher markets.
Well.. uhhh...
I believe it is outright anti-Semitism.
