Fruité Lemonade

Lemon and lime show up in the concentrate. The 2 L lemonade is still a drink: water and sugars come first.

Industries Lassonde inc. is printed on the page. Lassonde counts Fruité among its locally made Canadian brands. Nothing on this flavour page names the filler town.

Tartrazine and brilliant blue FCF colour it. Arabic gum, canola oil, and stevia are in the recipe. It is shelf stable, then 10 days after the cap comes off.
