I maintain that toxinless.com page and usually buy the brands that claim to avoid flavor packs. It could be placebo, but I notice more flavor variation throughout the year with Costco and Whole Foods' brands, which I think supports their claims of using different sources of oranges throughout the seasons.

From your experience, is there one certain mid-price brand that stands out amongst the non flavor pack varieties?

I haven't noticed any difference, although I don't buy them frequently enough to make good comparisons.

I've considered switching to frozen concentrate for a lower-cost approach. I think it's likely to be promptly frozen after harvest, and may have lower pesticide levels due to smaller-scale production: http://www.inspection.gc.ca/food/chemical-residues-microbiol...

We've been drinking Uncle Matt's for a while now. It's usually about $4-5 where I live and that seems quite reasonable to me.

No flavor packs, enzyme and BPA free. And it's organic. And it actually tastes like oranges.
