The Pickle Juice Company Receives USDA Organic Certification The Pickle Juice Company, developer of the only trademarked and purpose built func- tional Pickle Juice ® sports beverage, an- nounces its federal recognition as U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) organic certified, one of the most widely recognized symbols of organic approval. To consumers, the organic label guarantees that Pickle Juice contains a minimum of 95 percent organic ingredients, and highlights its lack of addi- tives or artificial preservatives, colors or fla- vors. This announcement comes on the heels of the product's recent OU Kosher Certifica- tion, serving as another testament to the company's dedication to consumer health and wellness, as well as its commitment to limiting negative environmental impact dur- ing production. "Receiving USDA organic certification represents another step in our ongoing effort to produce the best, most functional and healthiest products available. We are ex- tremely proud to be working with a beverage line that offers consumers the only all-natural and proven solution to muscle cramps and dehydration," said Filip Keuppens, Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing for The Pickle Juice Company. "It's important to us that consumers know that Pickle Juice is a healthy alternative to the many sug- ary and synthetic drinks that seem to dominate the market. We are proud of our brand's dedication to serving a qual- ity sports drink, which con- tains only pure and natural ingredients, including key electrolytes and vitamins." As the demand for organic products con- tinues to increase among American con- sumers, so does the demand for Pickle Juice products.

The effectiveness of the product line is scientifically proven to relieve muscle cramps in as fast as 60 sec- onds, and contains up to 14 times the electrolytes found in the average sports drink.
