True Citrus FAQ | True Lemon Ingredients, Shipping & More (2024)

Does True Lemon use Erythritol in it's products?

Please be assured that True Citrus does NOT use erythritol in any of its products, specifically our Lemonades, Limeades, Energys, Kids or Iced Tea drink mixes. While sometimes other companies do blend stevia and erythritol together, we DO NOT and never have. If we did, we would have to list it in our ingredient lines. Instead we either use stevia and cane sugar (1g for our Lemonades\/Limeades\/Iced Teas and 2g for our Kids) or just Stevia (in our Energys). To view the ingredients of all of our products, please visit each of our product’s corresponding product page.

Who came up with the idea for True Lemon?

David Schleider, our founder and President, came up with the idea for True Lemon in 2001 while having lunch with his father. A long-time lemon lover, a chef by schooling, and an inventor by passion, David was waiting for another bowl of lemons to be brought to their table when he had his “aha” moment. He wondered why fresh lemon taste couldn’t be more convenient, as easy as opening up a packet of sugar. David spent the next three years working on True Lemon to make sure the taste was just right before starting our Company in June 2003.

Why would I buy True Lemon instead of a fresh lemon?

Let’s be clear. We love lemons. But let’s be honest: lemons can be a bit of a pain for many of us. (But not all. We know there are devoted lemon lovers who would never use anything but fresh – we’re speaking to you, Martha Stewart!)

For the vast majority of us who love lemons but forget to buy them, buy them and then forget to use them, use them but don’t use all of the lemon so the rest goes bad, or who love fresh lemons so much we’d like to take fresh lemon taste with us but it’s a pain in the neck, True Lemon is for you!

True Lemon provides consistent, fresh-squeezed lemon taste, any time, anywhere and can be used so many ways it’s hard to count.

Fresh lemons, on the other hand, don’t provide consistent taste (because their taste depends on when they were picked), are seasonally expensive, go bad, can only be used as a wet ingredient, and aren’t great travel companions. (Try putting a lemon in your pocket or purse.) And don’t even get us started on bottled or packet lemon juice.

For an easy comparison between True Lemon, fresh lemons and pasteurized lemon juice, check out this chart.

For all the ways to use True Lemon and other True Citrus products throughout your day check out these videos or this list.

What can I do with True Lemon?

So many things! True Lemon, True Lime, True Orange, and True Grapefruit can be used any place lemon, lime, orange, or grapefruit juice are used. Our products are great for water, beverages, cooking, baking and seasoning.

Click hereto find a ton of great usage suggestions for using True Citrus products.

Can I use True Lemon in place of fresh lemon or bottled lemon juice?

True Lemon is a great alternative to fresh lemon juice or bottled lemon juice and can be used for cooking, baking and seasoning. (As can True Lime, True Orange and True Grapefruit.)

In the vast majority of recipes, where you want just the lemon taste - you can add True Lemon directly into the other ingredients. (Generally, we recommend 2 to 3 sachets = 1 tablespoon lemon juice.) However, in some recipes, it may be necessary or desirable to add an equivalent amount of water to replace the moisture the lemon, lime, orange, or grapefruit juice provides. In these cases, add both the appropriate number of True Lemon, True Lime, True Orange, or True Grapefruit packets and the necessary amount of water. (Example: if a moist cake recipe calls for 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, use 4 packets of True Lemon and 2 tablespoons of water.)

For measuring equivalents and conversions, please click here.

If I want to use True Lemon, True Lime, True Orange or True Grapefruit in cooking, what are the measurement equivalents?

One (1) sachet of True Lemon equals the taste of 1 large lemon wedge and 2 packets of True Lemon is the equivalent of 1 tablespoon lemon juice. This is the same equivalency for True Lime, True Orange and True Grapefruit.

A medium lemon has approximately 2 to 3 tablespoons of juice which equates to 4 to 6 True Lemon packets.

A medium or average lime has approximately 2 tablespoons of juice which equals 4 packets of True Lime.

For more measuring equivalents, click here.

I see a recipe that calls for two True Lemon packets but I only have the True Lemon shaker. What is the equivalent?

A serving of True Lemon shaker = ¼ teaspoon and so the packet to shaker equivalent is typically 1 to 1. So, for example, if a recipe on our website calls for two packets of True Lemon you would use ½ teaspoon from the shaker. For more measuring equivalent conversions, click here.

Can I use True Lemon, True Lime or True Orange in place of zest in a recipe?

If you are using the zest of a lemon, lime or orange for decorative purposes than you’ll need to use a fresh lemon, lime, orange or grapefruit. However, if you are using zest as an ingredient, you can use True Lemon, True Lime, True Orange or True Grapefruit. The equivalent is 2 sachets for 1 tablespoon of zest. (If you want a stronger citrus taste, you can add an additional sachet.)

Do I need to add water when using True Lemon in place of lemon juice for a recipe?

You only need to add water if the recipe you’re making needs the moisture from the juice as well as the lemon (or lime, orange, grapefruit) taste. Most recipes really only want the lemon taste and don’t need the moisture. For a recipe that needs the moisture from the juice then you would add the equivalent of water and the True Lemon/True Lime/True Orange/True Grapefruit packets. (For example, if the recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of lemon juice you would add two packets of True Lemon and one tablespoon of water.) For True Lemon recipes, click here.

Can I use True Orange in place of a fresh orange?

True Orange is not meant to replace the experience of eating a fresh orange or replace orange juice that you drink. Instead, True Orange allows you to enjoy the essence of fresh-squeezed oranges in delightful new ways. Add to your water or iced/hot tea. Sprinkle on fruit, fish or chicken. Replace orange juice or zest in recipes. For True Orange recipes and more, click here.

How many of the True Orange packets would I need to use to equal 8 oz. of orange juice?

True Orange is not meant to replace the experience of eating a fresh orange or replace orange juice that you drink. Instead, True Orange allows you to enjoy the essence of fresh-squeezed oranges in delightful new ways. Add to your water or iced/hot tea. Sprinkle on fruit, fish or chicken. Replace orange juice or zest in recipes. For True Orange recipes and more, click here.

Can True Lemon be used in place of real lemon when canning/preserving?

Yes, many people use True Lemon when canning or preserving.

Can True Lemon be used to make jams or jellies that need the lemon for the added pectin to jell?

Yes, we’ve heard from customers who use True Lemon as part of their jelly making process.

Where do I store True Citrus products?

Many of our customers keep their True Citrus products out on the counter, in their cabinets, or in their purse so they are always within easy reach. On our online store we sell a True Lemon table-top caddy and a True Lemon on-the-go mini-tote packet holder. (To see these handy accessories, click here.) True Citrus products should not be exposed to high temperatures for extended periods of time.

How many calories does a packet of True Lemon have?

A packet of True Lemon, True Lime, True Orange, or True Grapefruit has 0 calories. A serving of our beverage mixes (True Lemon Lemonades, True Lime Limeades, True Orange Orangeades and True Lemon Iced Teas) contain 10 calories per serving. True Lemon Energy contains 0 calories per serving.

Our True Lemon Shaker, True Lime Shaker, True Lemon Pepper Spice Blend, True Lime Garlic & Cilantro Spice Blend, and True Orange Ginger Spice Blend contain 0 calories per serving.

How many carbs does a packet of a True Citrus product have?

A single serving (one packet) of True Lemon, True Lime, True Orange, and True Grapefruit contains less than 1 gram of carbohydrates per packet.

A stick packet of one of our sweetened,10 calorie Lemonades, Limeades and Iced Teas contain 1g sugar and 3 grams of carbohydrates per stick packet.

A stick packet of one of our Energy products contain 0g sugar and less than 1g of carbohydrates.

Will True Lemon help me drink more water?

Water is good for you not only because of the great things it does for your body. For more information about why water is so good for you, click here. Water is also a great alternative to sweetened, caloric beverages like soda, fruit juice, sweetened iced teas and even drinks that you may not suspect, like some bottled waters; which are high in both calories and sugar. (Here’s a fun fact: Just switching out one can of soda or other 120 calorie drink per day for one glass of water can lead to an almost 15 pound weight loss in the course of a year without doing anything else.) And all you diet beverage drinkers, don’t think you’re off the hook. Consumption of diet sodas has been linked to weight gain and Type 2 diabetes.

But lots of people either don’t like the taste of plain water, get bored of it or want to add a beverage mix to their water but don’t want their water to turn into a chemical soup. (Check out this comparison chart.)

And that’s where True Citrus comes in. We’ve got you covered because we’re the only company that gives you a choice about how you want to flavor your water.

For those who like just a refreshing, light citrus taste we have 4 delightful choices for you. If you want to add just fresh citrus taste to your water without changing your water into a beverage, then try True Lemon, True Lime, True Orange or True Grapefruit. Each sachet delivers fresh-squeezed taste and:

  • Equals the taste of a wedge of lemon, lime, orange or grapefruit
  • Has a super simple ingredient line
  • Has 0 calories and 0g sugarsu2028

  • u2028
  • Is Non-GMOu2028

For those who like a sweeter taste, then we have many delicious options for you.

Are True Citrus products vegan?

Yes! All True Citrus products are vegan.

Are your products paleo and Keto friendly?

How seriously Paleo or Keto are you?

All of our True Citrus products are very low carb and, thus, are perfect fits for a Paleo or Keto diet, especially our unsweetened Crystallized Wedge sachets, citrus Shakers and Spice Blends.

However, we encourage everyone to read our nutrition panels and make a judgment for themselves. (Nutritional information is on every product page.)

I have diabetes. Can I use True products?

Yes, all of our True Citrus products are a great addition to a diabetes management eating plan. (However, if you have any questions or concerns about using any food or beverage, you should always consult your physician.)

Many people with diabetes are looking to replace sweetened, caloric beverages and even artificially sweetened beverages since artificial sweeteners have been linked to weight gain and Type 2 diabetes.

True Citrus offers two delicious ways to replace sweetened or artificially sweetened drinks and, at the same time, drink more water. For those who like just the light, refreshing taste of citrus, we have our convenient citrus sachets. Each sachet equals the taste of a fruit wedge and has 0 calories,0g sugars and <1g carb and has no artificial sweeteners, sodium or gluten. Available in True Lemon, True Lime, True Orange and True Grapefruit, they are great to add to water or teas but also serve as a wonderful alternative to salt to season foods.

We make delicious, sweetened low calorie Lemonades, Limeades, Orangeades and Iced teas. Available in on-the-go stick packets or pitcher packets (select flavors), True Lemon Lemonades, True Lime Limeades, Orangeades and True Lemon Iced Teas are made with stevia and a touch of sugar. Each stick packet has 10 calories, 1g sugar and 3g carbs.

We also make sweetened Energy drinks that are made with stevia. Each stick packet has 0 calories, 0g sugar, less than 1 gram of carbs, and contain 120mg of caffeine.

Finally, since many people with diabetes are also concerned with hypertension, True Citrus offers wonderful, salt free citrus spice blends as well as True Lemon and True Lime in shakers. All are delicious, flavorful ways to season food without adding sodium.

I'm on a low sodium diet. Can I use True Citrus products?

Absolutely! True Citrus products are a great addition to a low sodium diet because they can flavor your food without adding any sodium. Also, adding them to water is a great alternative to soda and artificially sweetened soda and drinks which often contain sodium in them.

I am pregnant. Can I use True Citrus products?

Absolutely! We have a ton of delicious options for you to try! True Citrus products are a great way to drink more water (instead of drinking artificially sweetened soda or beverages with high sugar content). They are also a great way to flavor your food without adding any sodium.

As always, if you have specific questions or concerns about any food or beverage you are eating/drinking during your pregnancy, we recommend that you speak to your physician.

I have kidney stones and my urologist recommended that I drink water with lemon in it every day. Does True Lemon have the same properties as lemon juice for this condition?

First, we always recommend that you speak to your healthcare provider when considering health solutions for specific conditions.

Second, while we have never run any trials to test True Lemon’s effectiveness in helping to treat kidney stones, a urologist in North Carolina conducted a month-long study of some of his kidney stone patients. Half of his patients used fresh lemon and the other half used True Lemon (the doctor provided the True Lemon.) After a month, he looked at pH balance and found the results were exactly the same for both groups of patients. So, True Lemon had the same effect as fresh lemon, but the patients using True Lemon thought it was more convenient and easier to use than fresh lemon.

Finally, we have heard from many people who have kidney stones and have successfully incorporated True Lemon into their treatment program. Again, we always recommend discussing treatment options with your healthcare provider.

I am on dialysis and have to be careful about potassium among other things. What are the phosphorous and potassium content levels in True Citrus products?

True Citrus products have 0 phosphorus and 0.01 milligrams of potassium (basically 0 grams).

Is True Lemon considered an anti-oxidant?

No, True Lemon is not considered an anti-oxidant.

Does True Grapefruit offer any metabolism/weight loss benefits that your group is aware of?

True Grapefruit is made with grapefruit oils and juices but we don’t make any specific claims about its impact on your metabolism. Drinking water with any True Citrus product instead of soda or other sweetened beverages can help you to lose weight. (Here’s a fun fact: Just switching out one can of soda or other 120 calorie drink per day for one glass of water can lead to an almost 15 pound weight loss in the course of a year without doing anything else.)

What is the quantity of electrolytes per serving of the True Citrus products?

There are zero electrolytes per serving.

Can you use True Lemon as a detox drink?

Lemons are very popular in detox programs and we know that many people use True Lemon in place of fresh lemons or lemon juice. However, we make no claims about the overall efficacy of lemon water as a detox drink nor using True Lemon as part of a detox drink.

Are the True Citrus products such as the True Lime Black Cherry Limeade considered low glycemic given they contain sugar?

Yes, because the amount of sugar they contain is so small. This is true for all of our low calorie, stevia sweetened beverages.

I take some medications which mean I'm not supposed to use grapefruits. Can I use True Grapefruit?

Since everyone is different, we always recommend that you talk to your healthcare provider if you have any questions regarding your medication.

I've been taking potassium citrate medications, and my doctor is suggesting that I switch over to using lemons and limes instead. Would your True Lemon work for me?

True Lemon contains essentially zero potassium citrate.

I am allergic to corn so can I use your products?

We would recommend that if you or a family member has a strong allergy to corn then our products shouldn’t be used. However, we always recommend speaking to your healthcare provider if you have questions or concerns.

Does your product cause the deterioration of tooth enamel or in any way cause tooth delay?

Our product would do the same to your teeth as drinking lemon water would and it’s a very individualized answer. We have True Citrus team members who have been using 6+ packets a day for years and have had no issues but you should base your usage on your own dental health.

Are your products Non-GMO?

Yes, as of 2017, all of the ingredients we use are Non-GMO.

Are True Citrus products gluten free?

All True Citrus products are gluten free and, in fact, many support groups for those with Celiac disease use True Citrus products regularly.

Are True Citrus products organic?

True Citrus products are made with simple and clean ingredients and are Non-GMO but are not organic.

Are True Citrus products natural? Do they have artificial sweeteners?

All True Citrus products are made with simple ingredients. Our products:

* Are made with lemon, lime, orange, or grapefruit juices and oils.
u2028 * Have no artificial sweeteners. (Our low calorie sweetened drink mixes are sweetened with stevia and a touch of sugar.)
* Contain ingredients from fruits, herbs or vegetables depending upon the products.u2028
* Colors sources from spices (ex: turmeric), vegetables (ex: beet juice) or fruit juices (ex: grape or elderberry juice).u2028
* Are Non-GMO, and sodium and gluten free. u2028

To read about our Live True commitment, which is the foundation of all of our products, click here.

To read about the ingredients we use, check out our Ingredients Finder here.

What does it mean that your products have natural flavors in them?

For our Non GMO natural flavors, we use not only the main fruit flavor (for example raspberry or black cherry) but also a proprietary blend of other natural flavors from fruits, herbs and/or vegetables, which is why we don't solely list “Raspberry” or “Black Cherry”. Since we use other natural flavors to enhance the main flavor, the FDA requires us to say “Natural flavors”.

Are the colors you use natural?

We use Non GMO colors that come from only natural sources including fruits (e.g., grapes), vegetables (e.g., beets) and spice (e.g., turmeric).

What is True Lemon made from?

True Lemon’s ingredients are the same as found in a lemon:
Citric Acid, Lemon Juice and Lemon Oil. Like all True Citrus products, True Lemon is made from simple ingredients, has no artificial sweeteners, is Non-GMO and is sodium and gluten free. To learn more about True Lemon, click here.

Are True Citrus products vegan?

Yes! All True Citrus products are vegan.

Are your products paleo and Keto friendly?

How seriously Paleo or Keto are you?

All of our True Citrus products are very low carb and, thus, are perfect fits for a Paleo or Keto diet, especially our unsweetened Crystallized Wedge sachets, citrus Shakers and Spice Blends. Our low calorie, low sugar, stevia sweetened Lemonades, Limeades, Orangeades, and Iced Teas may be more of a question. Our Energy drinks have 0 calories, 0g sugars and less than 1g carb.

However, we encourage everyone to read our nutrition panels and make a judgment for themselves. (Nutritional information is on every product page.)

Is True Lemon considered an anti-oxidant?

No, True Lemon is not considered an anti-oxidant.

Do all your True Citrus products contain citric acid?

Yes, all of our products contain Non GMO citric acid.

Are your products Kosher and if so who is the supervising agency?

Yes, they are Parve and the supervising agency is the Orthodox Union.

How is True Lemon made?

True Lemon is made from a patented recipe that crystallizes the lemon’s oils and juices, locking in fresh-squeezed lemon taste. (It’s the fact that True Lemon contains both lemon oil and juice that makes it special. Most lemon replacements contain just lemon juice.)

Because True Lemon always delivers consistent, fresh-squeezed lemon taste, we believe it’s an excellent alternative to fresh, frozen or bottled. (And, with no undue modesty, we think it’s actually better than at least 2 of those!)

Does True Lemon have the same properties as a fresh lemon?

True Lemon is made from real lemon juices and oils. True Lemon behaves almost identically to fresh lemon juice when using in water, drinks, beverages and in recipes. This is also true for True Lime, True Orange and True Grapefruit.

Do your products contain flavonoids or Limeonene?

Absolutely (and that’s great)! Because of our gentle encapsulation, we are able to maintain the delicate flavonoids (including limonene) that are found in citrus oils. Flavonoids are a group of plant metabolites thought to provide health benefits through cell signaling pathways and antioxidant effects. These molecules are found in a variety of fruits and vegetables. Limonene is found in citrus peels/rinds and is the thing that makes oranges and lemons smell orangey and lemony.

I see that some of your products have stevia in them. What is that and is it an artificial sweetener?

Stevia is a plant that has been used for centuries around the world as an herb and a zero calorie sweetener. Currently, there are many stevia sweeteners on the market, including Truvia®, PureVia®, Stevia in the Raw®, and Pure Circle®, to name just a few.

Stevia is extracted from the sweetest part of the stevia plant (called rebiana). Once stevia is purified, it’s 300 to 400 times sweeter than sugar. Stevia can have a bitter aftertaste, so many products that use stevia as a sweetener also add a small amount of sugar to round out the flavor (as True Citrus does).

Some stevia products are made from a process that uses chemicals in the extraction or refinement of their stevia which is why some people may consider those to be artificial. However, we use only Non GMO stevia that is guaranteed a minimum of 95% pure, which is some of the highest in the industry. In addition, we source our rebiana only from reputable companies that do not use chemicals in the extraction or refinement of their stevia, and use only water-based extraction methods, which are safer for both our customers and our environment.

Stevia, which is commonly grown in South America and Asia, can also be grown in your garden.

If you use stevia in your drink mixes, why do you use sugar too?

The sweetness in our drink mixes come from stevia. The sugar we use is to help round out the notes of the stevia as well as acting as a bulking agent.

Why does sugar come before stevia in the ingredients line?

Because stevia is 300 to 400 times sweeter than sugar, only a very small amount of stevia is required to deliver a sweet taste in our drink mixes. We also use a small amount of sugar, which is used to help round out the taste of stevia as well as acting as a bulking agent. Since the small amount of sugar used weighs more than the stevia, it is listed before stevia in the ingredients line.

I noticed that you have a couple products now that have listed Rebiana (stevia) as an ingredient. Is this actually pure Stevia, or are you using Truvia? Also is this Stevia being extracted using water or chemical methods?

We use only Non GMO stevia that is guaranteed a minimum of 95% pure, which is some of the highest in the industry. We source our rebiana only from reputable companies that do not use chemicals in the extraction or refinement of their stevia—only water-based extraction methods are used, which are safer for both the customer and our environment. (We’re committed to not only the health and well-being of our customers; we’re also in tune with our delicate ecosystem!)

Is there a chemical process used in making the lemonade from stevia? Is the stevia chemically broken down?

No chemicals are used in the processing of the Non GMO stevia we use. It is solely through an aqueous (water-based) production.

Where is stevia grown?

Like most stevia, ours is produced in a state-of-the-art facility in China under strict food guidelines and stringent auditing requirements and meets the highest quality standards.

Where does the caffeine come from in your Energy Drinks?

A stick packet of True Lemon Wild Blackberry Pomegranate and Wild Cherry Cranberry deliver 120mg of caffeine, equal to a strong cup of coffee. Unlike many energy drinks that are currently on the market, the caffeine we use is from green tea, so it delivers a more sustained lift. Like all True Citrus products, our Energy drink mixes:

*Are made from simple ingredients.
*Contain real lemon oil and juice.
*Are sweetened with stevia
*Have 0 calories and less than 1 gram carbs
*Have NO artificial sweeteners
*Have colors from sources such as vegetable and fruit juice
*Have no gluten or sodium
*Are Non GMO

How are your True Orange packets considered unsweetened when they contain sugar?

True Orange uses a tiny amount of sugar (<0.5g/packet or 1/8 teaspoon) as a bulking agent and not to sweeten the product. This small amount of sugar is considered to be negligible by the FDA, and does not have any effect on blood sugar levels when used in 16 ounces of water/beverages.

Where does your citric acid come from?

Citric acid is found in all citrus fruits. However, there is not enough citrus to produce the amount of citric acid that food manufacturers like us use and not all citric acid is produced in the same way. Our organic citric acid is derived from the cassava plant. The plant is harvested and fermented using Non GMO enzymes and is purified. The fermentation process is a non-synthetic, organic process and the FDA recognizes our form of citric acid may be included in organic labeled products.

Do True products have corn in them?

Yes. Our True Lemon Shaker, True Lime Shaker, True Lemon Pepper Spice Blend, True Lime Garlic & Cilantro Spice Blend, and True Orange Ginger contain Non GMO maltodextrin, a starch derivative of corn.

Do any of your products contain any mono-sodium glutamate and/or free glutamic acid?

No, True Citrus products do not contain any monosodium glutamate or glutamic acid.

Do True products contain soy?

True Citrus products do not contain soy.

Do True products contain potassium?

A serving of any True Lemon, True Lime, True Orange or True Grapefruit (unsweetened or sweetened) products contain less than 0.01 milligrams of potassium, so a very small amount.

What are the phosphorus and potassium content levels in True Citrus products?

Our True Citrus products (both our unsweetened Crystallized Wedge sachets and our low-calorie sweetened drink mixes) contain 0 phosphorus and 0.01 milligrams of potassium (basically 0 grams).

What is your source of maltodextrin used in your shakers? Corn, wheat, rice?

The purpose of maltodextrin in our products is to help our flavor components disperse better when cooking, baking or seasoning. Without it, you would get big hits of lemon oil with pockets of acid instead of a hom*ogenous product throughout. The maltodextrin we use is Non GMO and is solely derived from corn and is not used as a sweetener. Because of its low use amount, the maltodextrin does not significantly contribute to raising blood sugar.

Do all of your products have corn in them?

Only our shakers and spice blends have Non GMO maltodextrin in them, which is derived from corn.

Do you use cochineal as an ingredient for your colors?

We do not use cochineal as a color.

Do you use MSG?

We don’t use MSG in any of our products. It is not something we add nor is it in the ingredients we source.

Do any of your spices contain wheat or rice?

No, they don’t contain either. All of our products are gluten free.

Do your products contain caffeine?

Yes, some True Citrus products do contain caffeine.

Our Iced Teas contain 40 mg of caffeine per stick packet, and our Energy Drink Mixes contain 120 mg of caffeine per stick packet (equal to a strong cup of coffee). To shop our Energy healthy drink mix line, click here.

Does any True Citrus products contain lactose?

No, True Citrus products do not contain lactose.

Are True Citrus products made with organic fruit?

Our products are not made with organic fruit.

Are all of your ingredients sourced in the United States?

While all of our manufacturing is done in the United States, as a global food manufacturing company, we utilize a number of sources from outside the United States to provide us with some of our raw materials. This is due to several reasons. Some ingredients, like stevia, aren’t yet produced in the United States on a large scale. (This may change within the next ten years as more tobacco farmers move away from growing tobacco and start growing stevia.) Other ingredients which are made in the U.S. are very expensive vs. the same ingredient produced in countries like Mexico and Brazil and we are very cognizant about keeping all of our products affordable. However, regardless of where any of our ingredients come from, they all meet the highest standards, are Non GMO and are the best quality we can purchase.

Is the sugar you use chemically processed?

The Non GMO sugar we use is refined to remove any impurities.

What are all the different True Citrus products?

There are a variety of delicious and refreshing True Citrus products, at least one of which you are sure to love (if not many more)!

All of our products are made from simple ingredients including real citrus, no artificial sweeteners, are Non GMO and sodium and gluten free.

Where is the expiration date on the box?

True Citrus products don’t have an expiration date but use a “best-used-by” date. After this date, our products are still safe to use but start to lose some of their flavor potency. The best-used-by date is stamped on the bottom of the package and reflects a date two years from when the product was produced.

Crystallized Citrus Wedge Sachets (like True Lemon and True Lime):The best-used-by date is located on the very bottom of the box below the barcode. The date is an imprint that is the same color as the packaging and may be a little hard to see. For example, a best-used-by date of 040521 1111 has a best-by date of April 5, 2021. The “1111” that follows the date is an internal lot number. Our bulk boxes of citrus sachets will have a date printed or stamped on the package. The best-used-by date may be listed as “BB040521” or “0405211111.” The best-by date for this product would be April 5, 2021.

Lemonades, Limeades, Iced Teas and Energy:The best-used-by date is stamped on the very bottom of the package. It could read “Best By: APR0521S” or “Best By: 04/05/2021.” The best-by date for this product would be April 5, 2021.

Shakers and Spice Blends:The best-used-by date is stamped on the very bottom of the shaker. For example, a best-used-by date reading “0405211111” has a best-by date of April 5, 2021. The “1111” that follows the date is an internal lot number.

How long does True Lemon last?

All True Citrus products have a shelf life of two years if unopened. Once you open a packet, the shelf life is only a couple of days.The shelf life for True Lemon and True Lime Shakers or our Spice Blends is also two years unopened. Once opened, the shelf life is about six months.

Once one of our products is beyond a “best used” date, the product is still safe to use. However, the flavor will start to slowly degrade after that date.

I added True Lemon to water and it doesn't taste like anything. I kept adding packets and it still didn't taste like lemonade.

Our flagship product, True Lemon Crystallized Wedge sachets, is not lemonade and so it’s not going to be a strong, sweet taste like lemonade. Instead, True Lemon has a refreshing, light taste, just like you squeezed a lemon wedge into your water. (Each sachet equals the taste of one wedge.) The same is true of True Lime, True Orange and True Grapefruit. If you like a stronger, sweeter taste, then can we suggest trying one of our Drink Mixes. To see our low-calorie, stevia sweetened choices - including Lemonades, Limeades, and Iced Teas - click here.

My recent box had two empty packets in it. What do I do?

We always stand behind our 100% Happiness Guarantee so if you purchase a box that has some empty packets, or has some packets that are missing, just give us a call toll-free at 1-866-885-3666 or, for online orders, 1-844-LUV-TRUE (1-844-588-8783). You can also email us at CustomerCare@TrueCitrus.com or complete our CustomerCare form by clicking here.

(Please include your full name, mailing address, where you purchased the box, and- if you still have the box- the fivedigit batch number located under the UPC code.)

I recently purchased a box of True Lemon and the True Lemon in the packets seemed cakey and didn't easily come out of the packet. What caused this and what do I do about it?

All True Citrus products should always be free flowing. However, since True Citrus products are made from simple ingredients, every once in a while some True Citrus packets will become sticky or cakey. This has nothing to do with where a customer stores their True Citrus product at home but is due to a rarely occurring bump in the humidity in the manufacturing room where the packets get sealed.

If you purchase any True Citrus products that don’t meet your expectations in terms of product taste or product quality, simply call us toll-free at 1-866-885-3666 or, for online orders, 1-844-LUV-TRUE (1-844-588-8783). You can also email us at CustomerCare@TrueCitrus.com or complete our CustomerCare form by clicking here.

We are happy to send you a replacement. Please include your complete name and mailing address, the number of packets that need to be replaced and where you purchased your product. Also, if you still have the box, please include the best-used-by date (the ten digit batch number located under the UPC code) and whether this was your first time purchasing our product.

I just purchased a new box of True Lemon and one of the packets was empty but covered in a red tape. Why?

It’s what’s called a “splice” in the roll that was missed in production.

Why is your True Lemon box so wasteful? The packets barely fill a quarter of the box which means it's not very environmentally friendly.

We hear you and we are working on creating a thinner box which will have a smaller footprint. In the meantime, we are using recycled carton material so we hope that you’ll recycle your True Lemon box like we do!

Do I have to pay sales tax?

A sales or use tax may or may not apply to your purchase depending on the prevailing laws in your city and state. If a sales tax does apply, it will be calculated before you submit your payment information.
