Orange production in Florida has fallen by more than 95% in under 25 years, threatening a classic state symbol.
Minute Maid helped make orange juice a year-round morning staple in 1946, when it started shipping cans of frozen juice around the U.S. But 80 years later, the brand's parent company is halting sales of frozen juice concentrates in the U.S. and Canada, saying it wants to focus on the fresh juices that customers now prefer. "We are discontinuing our frozen products and exiting the frozen can category in response to shifting consumer preferences," The Coca-Cola Co., which owns Minute Maid, said Wednesday in a statement.
