Made From California-Grown Oranges

Vita-Pakt is dedicated to supplying the best fruit products for your end application. Our Orange Peel 3/16 Ribbon Strips come from clean, sound, mature oranges primarily grown in the heart of the great San Joaquin Valley. There’s no better agricultural environment than the hills and valleys under our famous California sunshine. Our trees are irrigated by our aquifer’s natural, deep, clean well water and the snow runoff from the Sierra Nevada mountain range.

Vita-Pakt also partners with multigenerational farmers who uphold our commitment to sustainability. All the fruit we process has been rescued from conventional food waste streams. By upcycling, we aim to maximize our resources and find valuable uses for fruit that would have otherwise been discarded due to improper size, blemishes, or discoloration. We transform this fruit into high-quality ingredients like our Orange Peel, and you can trust that every product undergoes rigorous quality testing before leaving our facilities.

A Minimally Processed Product

At Vita-Pakt, we want to assure our customer base that the value of our oranges isn’t lost through processing. Our Vita-Pakt Orange Peel 3/16 Ribbon Strips are produced under the most stringent guidelines in the world at our state-of-the-art, GFSI-certified facilities. We operate with a core focus on food safety. Our oranges are washed, the juice is extracted, and the peel is shaved, cut into 3/16-inch strips, and dried to our high-quality specifications. Our meticulous process ensures consistency in product quality for taste, appearance, aroma, and texture.
