What Happened to the Good Flow?
We've heard from several readers today that Good Flow Juice Co, Austin's fresh juice makers, may have encountered some FDA problems resulting in their shutdown—temporary or otherwise.
The issue, from what we can gather, is that their juices hadn't been pasteurized (the process of heating up a liquid to kill off bacteria and molds), a standard industry procedure that prevents the outbreak of nasty things like E. coli. Given a deadline by the FDA, it seems like they were unable to bring their juice-making site up to code, and, despite no outbreaks of contaminated product, have been ordered to stop production.
We've left a voicemail with the company in hopes of getting a clearer answer. In the meantime, McChris over at Terror in the Heartland has a firsthand account of enjoying some of the unsalable product.
