Is your question whether or not this is different from other triangle-k products? Considering that juice is pasteurized and hot pack i don't see hwy it should be.

Where an item is sold is at best meaningless. I am not sure that the store you mentioned makes any attempt at all to check out the products they sell.

Hmm.

The "Cranberry 100% juice" lists ingredients: https://www.oceanspray.com/en/Products/Juices-and-Drinks/By-Type/100-Percent-Juice/100-Percent-Juice-Cranberry

On page: "This 100% cranberry juice contains water, cranberry juice concentrate, grape juice, water, grape juice concentrate, apple juice, water, apple juice concentrate, and pear juice, water, pear juice concentrate."

and they would be correct. It is 100% juice. Not 100% Cranberry juice

Which is why my initial response was:

I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

So I bought this the other day from walmart https://www.walmart.com/ip/Great-Value-Purified-Drinking-Water-16-9-fl-oz-40-count/992524020

and I noticed now that it says "with flavor enhancing minerals" and I don't see any hechsher on it at all and I didn't think twice to look for one because I thought it was just plain old water.

Should I not drink it?
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

From the CRC beverage list


Bottled Water
   
All unflavored are acceptable. Added minerals acceptable but added vitamins may pose a kashrus problem.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

minerals are not a kashrus concern. They are what make tap water in different locales taste different

Is this the same with setlzer? Or as soon as its fizzed  it causes other problems?
