Minute Maid, owned by the Coca-Cola Company, is preparing to discontinue its frozen juice concentrate products, a move that has sparked a wave of dismay from longtime Internet fans.
The change is expected to take effect in the first quarter of 2026 as the company responds to changing consumer demand. The remaining cans will remain on the shelves until supplies run out, a Coca-Cola spokesperson told FOX Business on Thursday.
“We are discontinuing our frozen products and exiting the frozen cans category due to changing consumer preferences,” the spokesperson said. “As the juice category continues to grow, we are focusing on products that better match what consumers want.”
