While the information in this edit is taken from a company information pamphlet, it does accurately reflect the company's mission, philosophy, and manufacturing techniques which seems highly relevant for this page. If a user is accessing this site to get background on a company, this is the type of information that likely is important to them. Sugar Golf 12:42, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
Advertisey. I tried to preserve some information when trying to reduce the number of company PR lines used. Some PR lines remain, and I may have lost some information.-- ZayZayEM 03:07, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
As one of the editors that vetted this article, I can honestly say that is far from the truth. You should also look at the posts before responding to them, that one is from a year ago and was basically mooted when this article was rewritten. -- Jeremy ( Blah blah...) 04:31, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
E Coli is not a virus.
It seems very obvious to me that Coca-Cola does its damnedest to support Odwalla, based on the product's target audience. There is no reference to the Coca-cola corp. anywhere on their bottles or on their website. I don't think it is worth mentioning.
I added a products list for juices and bars, but I'm not totally sure the juice list is up to date. I'm going to be working to move this up to GA FA status! Feel free to help!

Hey, I added all of the products they make, but I'm worried its an indiscriminate list of trivia (per WP:INDISCRIMINATE). I'm thinking it might be better to have a tiny list like:
So yeah, please comment! :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Intothewoods29 ( talk • contribs) 02:54, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
I moved the page name from Odwalla to Odwalla Inc., since that's the official name of the company (I think). Intothewoods29 ( talk) 22:01, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
"The recall cost the company $65 million and took around 48 hours to complete."
The dollar sign currency wikilink leads to a disambiguation page with no mention of the "US currency". Also, why is the dollar sign wikilinked here? -- Phenylalanine ( talk) 18:30, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
I removed the following sentence from between the Product header and the Drink subheader:
Odwalla produces various flavors of energy drinks, juices, protein drinks, smoothies, and Superfood drinks, as well as "food bars" ( energy bars made with whole grains and fruit).
I could have expanded it, but I thought it'd be best for prose if it was removed. Intothewoods29 ( talk) 03:44, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
See WP:ITALICS. Periodicals, newspapers, magazines are in italics; corporations, websites, organizations are not.
There are two ways to accomplish italics in cite templates.
Work italicizes, publisher does not. When you need to italicize a periodical, you can either use the work field, or add italics to the entry in the publisher field.
The last time I checked, most of the citations here were correct; I haven't checked recently, but Domiy seems to be saying that periodicals are not italicized, which is incorrect.
Please put up a sample of the problem. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 22:21, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
Follow this guideline please as the article clearly uses sources which are originally from other sites. This is the prime reason for the 'work' field in cite templates. Please fix this up before proceeding with anything else. You can have a look at how I have done it on this article. I think this is the most correct and appropriate way.
Other than that, the article is looking pretty good. The only thing I would recommend you fix up additionally is the caption in the refrigerator image. The caption is a bit too long, I think it should be reworded and summarized. Foremost, I don't really see the need for that basic first sentence in it. Domiy ( talk) 05:46, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
The article includes the line "one inspector said that Odwalla's safety procedures were so poorly maintained that they were breeding bacteria in 'black rotten crud'". I followed the reference and the quote is attributed to a "contractor", not an "inspector". Also, the quote is in reference to "Odwalla's citrus-processing equipment", not its "safety procedures". I would suggest changing that line to read something like this:
one contractor warned that Odwalla's citrus processing equipment was poorly maintained and was breeding bacteria in "black rotten crud"

The name "Odwalla" was taken from that of a character in the song "Illistrum" written by the Art Ensemble of Chicago jazz group as a metaphor for the company.
This seems to imply that the song was written specifically about the company, but also that the song existed before the company did. Can someone with more information rewrite it to clear up this apparent contradiction? Thanks! Lusanaherandraton ( talk) 07:42, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
An excellent write-up of the 1996 E. coli outbreak is in Chapter 8 of Effective Risk Communication ( ISBN 978-0-387-79726-7, doi: 10.1007/978-0-387-79727-4_8), which is available on google Book Search. Fvasconcellos ( t· c) 18:06, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
