He points out that cranberries have a high level of benzoate found naturally in the berry. Thankfully, they're low in vitamin C, "so this may be not be a concern in these juices," he says. But, what about mixed berry drinks where a berry low in benzoate but high in C are blended? Distinguished Professor of Food Science and Engineering
