FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Ingredients
We use all-natural ingredients in our syrups and juices, and we never add preservatives, artificial flavors, or colors to any of our products.
This means we’re not “adding natural flavors” or flavor extracts or oils. We never add water to our citrus juices, so they are 100% pure juice.
As with all natural products, sediment/separation with the juices is normal, and slight color variations should be expected.
All of our products are gluten-free and soy free. Our Honey and Honey Ginger Syrups are our only non-vegan flavors, and our Espresso Syrup is our only product containing caffeine. While we do not use nuts or major allergens as ingredients in our mixers, our facilities may process products containing nuts, so we do not make any statements about allergen-free.
No, Cheeky's syrups are not kosher certified.
shelf-life
Juices have an ambient shelf-life of 18 months from production, and Syrups have a shelf-life of 24 months from production. Product does not "go bad" when it hits the date code on the bottom of the bottle; it is a "recommended use-by" date.
Syrups & juices will last about a month after opening if refrigerated, but we recommend consuming them sooner rather than later for the best flavor and color.
…ALWAYS refrigerate after opening!
There are two numbers on the bottom of the bottle- the production date and the "best by" date. The "best by" is not a hard expiration date, but a recommendation so the product maintains the best flavor/color/experience.
We use a process similar to canning (heating and holding) to ensure shelf stability.
Bottle Material and Recycling
Our glass bottles are 100% recyclable (code #70 GL). They are also 100% reusable. We use a removable adhesive on all our labels for easy reuse and recycling.
Yes, they are organic starch so they melt in water! they dissolve in water leaving no toxic waste:)
