Where Is U Fresh Drink Available?/U Fresh Juice Uganda

The controversial U Fresh juice is available in over 10 African countries including Cameroon, Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya, and Mali.

U Fresh Juice Tanzania

The controversy about U Fresh juice began in December 2014, when the Tanzanian Bureau of Standards (TBS) shut down a local juice factory belonging to U-Fresh Food Limited for producing substandard products.

Specifically, TBS cited that U-Fresh Food Ltd. failed to observe hygiene standards.

Furthermore, their juices contain super sugar, a product not certified for use in juices.

Super sugar is known to have harmful effects on children who are the main consumers of U-Fresh juice.

When TBS tested samples of U-Fresh juice, they found that they contained harmful bacteria.

This news went viral across the continent in what U-Fresh calls a targeted smear campaign with no basis in reality.

U-fresh Juice/U Fresh Products Production Resumes

U-Fresh has since resumed production of U-Fresh juice in Tanzania, presumably now being in compliance with TBS juice production standards.

Fresh ‘n’ Juici

While I was shopping recently, I noticed something new at Nakumatt Prestige.

In a corner near the fresh produce area and the butchery, I saw a stall advertising ‘Fresh ‘n’ Juici’ juices.

More out of curiosity than anything else, I stopped by to taste some of the juice samples offered.

I tasted mango juice, passion juice, pineapple juice, tree tomato juice, and a number of juice cocktails.

Each juice I tasted was fantastic.

The juices were truly fresh as though they were made from only the sweetest, ripest fruit!

There was a wide choice of juices. The cocktails on offer were great combinations too.

The first day I tasted ‘Fresh ‘n’ Juici’ juices, I bought two flavors to take home with me—a juice cocktail containing tree tomato juice (for a friend who I was having over for dinner and who loves tree tomato juice) and a juice cocktail without tree tomato juice for myself.

Since then, I have bought a number of ‘Fresh ‘n’ Juici’ juices to take home, the last being a pineapple juice that I bought to mix with vodka.

None of them were disappointing!

Basic Info About Fresh ‘n’ Juici Juices

To tell you more about these juices, a liter of ‘Fresh ‘n’ Juici’ juice costs Ksh. 179.

The juices can last in the fridge for 2 days. After that, you either have to drink them right away or throw them out.

I hear they can last longer in the freezer. I have never tried this, though, so can’t vouch for it.

Some would say this is a downside of the product. To me, this is simply a true mark of the freshness of the juices.

  1. Can you only get this at Nakumatt Prestige?

    Do you know whether anyone else stocks it now?

    I prefer fresh juices, and if this is the real deal, it is great.

    When I was last home, I used to go to a shop at ABC and get some bottled juice. That was freshly squeezed, and pricey. But tasted much better than the packaged juice stuff.

    1. Tamtam –

      To date, I haven’t seen it anywhere else, but I also don’t live in Nairobi anymore. I totally hear you about fresh juice. No packet juice is ever the same. Now, if only making fresh juice at home weren’t as time consuming as it is. 🙂

      Wishing you a good weekend,

    1. Hi Aadil,

      Welcome to Chick About Town!

      It’s my pleasure to write well about your product because it’s simply excellent!

      Would you be able to tell me at exactly which Nakumatt and Tusky’s branches Fresh an Juici juices are available? Are your juices available anywhere else in East Africa other than Kenya?

      I look forward to hearing more from you soon,
      Biche

  3. Hey Biche,

    Hope you’re well. This is to inform you that the picture you used to represent U-fresh in Africa is wrong, this is a local company in Sri Lanka and not the company you are speaking about.
    This is a misrepresentation on the another company and tarnishes their image aswell.
    Please do take the picture down.

    Thank you.

    1. Hi Binnie,

      Welcome to Chick About Town, and thank you for sharing your concern about the image I was using in this post. I have now changed it. I trust the problem has been solved.

      Let me know if there is any thing else you’d like me to do for you.

      Biche
