 The New Zealand Juice & Beverage Association
The New Zealand Juice & Beverage Association (NZJBA) represents the manufacturers of New Zealand's juice, carbonated drink and bottled water brands, and their suppliers.
The NZJBA acts as a forum to discuss issues of concern and interest to the industry, as a lobby group, and as an advocate for consumer education on health & nutrition issues.
 The New Zealand Juice Association has been operating since mid 1994 and was formed to promote the interests of the fruit juice industry.
In 2003 the Association opened its doors to Bottled Water companies and Carbonated Soft Drink companies. The Association has now changed its name to the New Zealand Juice & Beverage Association .
Currently, the New Zealand Juice & Beverage Association members represent over 95% of all juice and beverages sold at a retail level.
 NZJBA Compliance Standard Logo:
The New Zealand Juice and Beverage Association (NZJBA) has established a Voluntary Code Of Practice that is aimed at ensuring accurate and truthful labelling on juice products. In particular, the Code signifies compliance with the relevant Food Regulations and Fair Trading requirements. This system is at the forefront of industry self-regulatory developments in New Zealand and over 95% of the juice sold in New Zealand is supplied by NZJBA members who are signatories to the Code.
The Compliance Standard Logo demonstrates to retailers and consumers that they can have full confidence in products which carry the logo. Compliance is monitored by an Independent Compliance Committee (ICC) and a rigorous testing programme carried out by the Institute of Environmental Science & Research (ESR).
The ICC is chaired by Professor Ray Winger of Massey University. The committee comprises representatives of the Retailers Association, the Consumers Institute, the NZ Food Safety Authority, the President and the chair of the Technical Committee of the NZ Juice and Beverage Association. Technical advice is provided by an independent consultant to the committee.
The Logo may only be used by members of the NZJBA and only on products containing a minimum of 5% juice content. The logo is a proprietary mark of the NZJBA.
