May I have freshly squeezed orange juice bought before Pesach without a Kosher Le'Pesach certification?

Fresh orange juice requires Kosher Le'Pesach certification. My understanding is that the issue with juices on Pesach is that enzymes derived from chametz are used to increase the juice yield or remove pectin or other unwanted things from the juice. Orange juice is not generally processed with enzymes, but it may have been on equipment that had chametz on it since it can be bottled along with other chametz-containing liquids. OU-supervised unsweetened orange juice concentrate may be used without Pesach certification. Simply Orange Juice High Pulp and Simple Orange Juice Pulp Free are supervised for Pesach by the OU. MATN
