Does the mold form more often in warm weather?
The weather or humidity has little or no effect on whether mold forms in this product. Given that there are no preservatives in the product, even from a microscopic hole can introduce air and mold can begin to form. What can you do to prevent this? Adding preservatives would be one option but we know that consumers appreciate that Capri Sun is preservative free. Through the years, we have made adjustments to minimize leaks. However, there’s just no way to guarantee a pouch is never cut or punctured. That’s why there’s a statement on the carton, recommending consumers discard any leaky pouches. Was cost the only consideration in not issuing a recall? Not at all. The safety of our products and the well-being of our consumers are our highest priorities. Based on some previous incidents, we were reasonably certain the problem was mold. This was confirmed by an independent lab. It’s more of a quality issue related to leaking packages than a food safety issue. Is Capri Sun made in China? No.
