Washington, D.C. 20549 Attention: Jenny O'Shanick, Anne Parker, Jeff Gordon, and Kevin Woody Re: Buda Juice, LLC Amendment No. 5 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed December 12, 2025 File No. 333-289874 Ladies and Gentlemen: By letter dated December 16, 2025, the staff (the " Staff ," " you " or " your ") of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the " Commission ") provided Buda Juice, LLC (the " Company ," " we ," " us " or " our ") with its comments to the Company's Amendment No. 5 to Registration Statement on Form S-1, submitted to the Commission on December 12, 2025. We are in receipt of your letter and we respectfully set forth below our response to your comments. For your convenience, the comment is listed below, followed by the Company's response. Amendment No. 5 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 Risk Factors Risks Relating to This Offering Our Certificate of Incorporation contains an exclusive forum provision for certain claims..., page 31 1. We note your revisions in response to prior comment 1 and reissue in part. Please address the part of that comment that requests disclosure of the risks related to increased costs to bring a claim. We also note disclosure here that the exclusive forum provision does not apply to actions arising under the Exchange Act or Securities Act and on page 69 that your Certificate of Incorporation "provides that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act." However, these provisions do not appear in your Certificate of Incorporation. Please reconcile your disclosures or as appropriate revise your governing documents to clearly state that the exclusive forum provision does not apply to actions arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act. Response: We have revised the risk factor titled "Our Certificate of Incorporation contains an exclusive forum provision for certain claims, which could limit our stockholders' ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees" on page 31 to disclose the risks related to increased costs to bring a claim. December 17, 2025 Page 2 We have revised our Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws and refiled them as exhibits 3.2 and 3.3, respectively, to state that that unless consented in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act and Exchange Act. Principal Stockholders, page 65 2. We note your revisions in response to prior comment 5 and reissue in part. Please tell us how you calculated the total in the "All directors and executive officers as a group" row under the "Beneficial Ownership After the Offering Common Stock" column. In this regard, it appears that Horatio Lonsdale-Hands's beneficial ownership should reflect the Stock Redemption of 500,000 shares per footnote (5). However, the difference between the "Beneficial Ownership Before the Offering Common Stock" and "Beneficial Ownership After the Offering Common Stock" columns is 666,667, instead of 500,000. Response: We have revised the "Principal Stockholders" table on page 65 to correct the "Beneficial Ownership After the Offering – Common Stock" column for Horatio Lonsdale-Hands so that it reflects the Stock Redemption of 500,000 shares described in footnote (5). As revised, the difference between Mr. Lonsdale-Hands's beneficial ownership before and after the offering is 500,000 shares, and the "All directors and executive officers as a group" row has been updated accordingly. 3. We note that Marie Quintana will beneficially own 33,333 shares of the Company while none of the other directors' beneficial ownership will increase after the offering. We also note the disclosure on page 63 that the Company will be compensating its non-employee directors with equity awards upon completion of the Company's listing on NYSE. With a view toward disclosure, please explain each directors' beneficial ownership after the offering to reconcile with the director compensation disclosure on page 63. As applicable, please also revise to elaborate on any compensatory plan, contract or arrangement with Ms. Quintana here and in the Executive and Director Compensation section, and file the compensatory plan, contract or arrangement pursuant to Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K and update the exhibit index. Response: We have revised the "Principal Stockholders" table on page 65 and the related footnotes to clarify that the amounts shown in the "Beneficial Ownership After the Offering – Common Stock" column for each non-employee director include the equity awards that the Company expects to grant to such directors upon completion of the Company's listing on NYSE American, as described under "Director Compensation" on page 63. With respect to Ms. Quintana, we have revised the disclosure to clarify that her beneficial ownership after the offering includes the equity award she will receive in connection with her service as a director. Ms. Quintana does not have a separate compensatory agreement with the Company. December 17, 2025 Page 3 Part II Information Note Required in Prospectus Item 16. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules Exhibit 5.1 Opinion of Lucosky Brookman LLP, page II-2 4. We note that you revised your opinion to cover 266,667 Representatives' Warrants and Representatives' Warrant Shares from the prior 306,667. Please revise Exhibit 5.1 to cover the over-allotment option for the Representatives' Warrants and Representatives' Warrant Shares. Response: We have revised Exhibit 5.1 to cover the over-allotment option for the Representatives' Warrants and Representatives' Warrant Shares. General 5. Please revise disclosures throughout the filing to update and/or reconcile apparent inconsistencies, including the following: ● We note your revisions to prior comment 10 and reissue in part. Reconcile references to "articles of incorporation and bylaws" and "certificate of incorporation and bylaws" to clarify if these titles refer to the same documents. Refer to pages 29, 66 and II-2. ● Refer to your footnote † on page II-2 regarding certain redactions. We note that none of the exhibits in the exhibit index is marked with footnote † and those redactions do not appear in the filed exhibits. Please advise or revise. Response: We have revised all references to "articles of incorporation and bylaws" to "certificate of incorporation and bylaws" throughout the document and removed footnote † on page II-2 regarding certain redactions. Thank you for the opportunity to respond to your comment. If you have additional questions or comments, please contact the undersigned at horatio@budajuice.com or (214) 724-9999.

CORRESP 1 filename1.htm Buda Juice, LLC 4030 Black Gold Drive Dallas, Texas 75247 December 12, 2025 United States Securities and Exchange Commission Division of Corporation Finance Office of Manufacturing 100 F Street, N.E. Washington, D.C. 20549 Attention: Jenny O'Shanick, Anne Parker, Jeff Gordon, and Kevin Woody Re: Buda Juice, LLC Amendment No. 4 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed December 1, 2025 File No. 333-289874 Ladies and Gentlemen: By letter dated December 9, 2025, the staff (the " Staff ," " you " or " your ") of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the " Commission ") provided Buda Juice, LLC (the " Company ," " we ," " us " or " our ") with its comments to the Company's Amendment No. 4 to Registration Statement on Form S-1, submitted to the Commission on December 1, 2025. We are in receipt of your letter and we respectfully set forth below our response to your comments. For your convenience, the comment is listed below, followed by the Company's response. Amendment No.4 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 Risk Factors Risks Relating to This Offering, page 28 1. We note that your forum selection provision identifies a state court located within the State of Delaware (or, if no state court located within the State of Delaware has jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) as the exclusive forum for certain litigation, including any "derivative action." Please disclose whether this provision applies to actions arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act. If so, please also state that there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such provision. Revise to discuss the risks related to increased costs to bring a claim and that these provisions can discourage claims or limit investors' ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that they find favorable. If the provision applies to Securities Act claims, please also state that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. In that regard, we note that Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. If this provision does not apply to actions arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, please also ensure that the exclusive forum provision in the governing documents states this clearly, or tell us how you will inform investors in future filings that the provision does not apply to any actions arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act. Finally, discuss this forum selection provision in the Description of Capital Stock section. Response: We have updated the choice of forum on pages 31 in the Risk Factors section and 67 in the Description of Capital Stock section. December 12, 2025 Page 2 Business Intellectual Property, page 52 2. We note your revisions in response to prior comment 8 and reissue in part. Please disclose the durations of your trademarks. Response: We have updated page 52 to disclose all of our trademarks are generally renewable for successive ten-year periods. Management, page 55 3. We note disclosure in the table on page 55 that Mo Hayat is a director nominee and that your board is expected to be comprised of seven directors. This appears inconsistent with disclosure on page 58 that your board is expected to be comprised of six directors. Please advise or revise. Further, please update your beneficial ownership table on page 64 to provide information for Mo Hayat. Finally, please revise to update the bracketed information on pages 58 to 60 related to your director independence and committee memberships. Response: We have updated page 58 to clarify the board is expected to be comprised of seven directors. We also have updated the beneficial ownership table on page 64 to provide information for Mo Hayat. Lastly, we have updated the bracketed information on pages 58 to 60 regarding independent directors and committee memberships. Executive and Director Compensation Director Compensation, page 62 4. We note your revisions in response to prior comment 11 and reissue in part. Please provide compensation information for the last completed fiscal year for Bryan Herr, Bernard Lucien Nussbaumer and Horatio Lonsdale-Hands. Refer to Item 402(r) of Regulation S-K. Response: Bryan Herr, Bernard Lucien Nussbaumer and Horatio Lonsdale-Hands did not receive any compensation for being board members in the last completed fiscal year, nor in any year prior to that and we have revised the disclosure on page 63. Principal Stockholders, page 64 5. Please tell us how you calculated the totals in the "All directors and executive officers as a group" row. In this regard, it appears that the share ownership for each beneficial owner is identical in the "Beneficial Ownership Before the Offering Common Stock" and "Beneficial Ownership After the Offering Common Stock" columns except for that of Horatio Lonsdale-Hands's beneficial ownership, which reflects the Stock Redemption of 500,000 shares per footnote (4). However, the difference in the "All directors and executive officers as a group" totals for the two columns is 500,360 shares instead of 500,000 shares. Further, we note that the "All directors and executive officers as a group" row includes the shares beneficially owned by 2469447 Ontario Ltd., your 5% stockholder. However, we note that there is no indication that this stockholder is related to your directors and executive officers. Please advise or revise. Response: We have revised the principal stockholders table to clarify the calculations. December 12, 2025 Page 3 Exhibit 10.1 Stock Incentive Plan, page II-2 6. We note your response to prior comment 17 and reissue in part. Please file your indemnification agreements with each of your directors and executive officers. Further, please reconcile the description of Exhibit 10.1 in the exhibit index, which appears inconsistent with the exhibit title of 2025 Equity Incentive Plan. Additionally, please advise if Exhibit 10.1 is the same as the "2025 Incentive Award Plan" referenced on page 62 and revise to clarify. Finally, please revise the Executive and Director Compensation section to disclose the material terms of Exhibit 10.1 and the 2025 Incentive Award Plan. Response: We have revised the description of Exhibit 10.1 in the exhibit index, updated the language to use consistent terms for the Buda Juice, Inc. 2025 Equity Incentive Plan, and provided disclosure of its material terms. We have filed our indemnification agreement as exhibit 10.5. Exhibit 107 Filing Fee Table, page II-2 7. We note that you are relying on Rules 457(o) and 457(g). Please revise the "Maximum Aggregate Offering Price" column of your fee table to reflect the maximum offering price that you disclose in your prospectus for all offered securities, including the over-allotment shares to be offered to the public and underwriter warrants or advise. In this regard, it appears that you used the low end of your price range of $7.50 instead of the high end range of $9. Response: We have revised the fee table to use the high-end range of $9 to calculate "Maximum Aggregate Offering Price" column of your fee table. Exhibit 5.1 Opinion of Lucosky Brookman LLP, page II-2 8. It appears that the underwriter's warrants will be governed by New York law. Refer to Sections 6(e) of the Form of Underwriter's Warrants and 8.6 of the Initial Form of Underwriting Agreement, filed as Exhibits 4.2 and 1.1, respectively. If true, please have New York counsel opine that the warrants are a binding obligation of the registrant under the law of the jurisdiction governing the warrant agreement, and update the Experts section as appropriate. Refer to Sections II.B.1.f and II.B.3.b of Staff Legal Bulletin No. 19. Response: We have revised the exhibit 5.1 opinion to have New York counsel opine that the warrants are a binding obligation of the registrant under the law of the state of New York and updated the Experts section as appropriate to include the Underwriter's Warrants. Part II Information Not Required in Prospectus Item 16. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules, page II-2 9. Please revise to update your exhibit index as follows: ● Please revise to update your exhibit index as follows: Please file your articles of incorporation and bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto as currently in effect. Refer to Items 601(b)(3)(i) and 601(b)(3)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Response: We have filed our Amended and Restated Company Agreement of Buda Juice, LLC ● We note that you deleted Exhibit 4.1 Form of Registrant's Common Stock Share Certificate. Please revise to file this exhibit. Response: We have added Exhibit 4.1 Form of Registrant's Common Stock Share Certificate. ● Please refile Exhibits 10.3 and 10.4 in the proper text-searchable format. Refer to Section 5.2.3.6 of the EDGAR Filer Manual (Volume II) EDGAR Filing (Version 75, June 2025) and Item 301 of Regulation S-T. Response: We have refiled exhibits 10.3 and 10.4 in proper text-searchable format. December 12, 2025 Page 4 General 10. Please revise disclosures throughout the filing to update and/or reconcile apparent inconsistencies, including the following: ● We note your response to prior comment 19 and reissue in part. We note disclosure on page 59 still provides that Barrett Evans is expected to serve on your audit committee. However, this individual is not disclosed on page 55. Please revise to clarify. Response: We have removed Barrett Evans from the Registration Statement. ● Reconcile disclosure on the cover page that you are registering 266,666 shares of Common Stock underlying warrants with disclosure elsewhere that this number is 266,667. Response: We have revised the cover page to 266,667, consistent with the disclosure elsewhere in Registration Statement. ● Reconcile disclosure on page 8 that you intend to apply to have your Common Stock listed on NYSE with disclosure on page 74 that your Common Stock is listed on NYSE. Response: We have revised the disclosure on page 74 to disclose that we intend to apply to list our shares of Common Stock on the NYSE. ● We note disclosure on page 40 regarding lease obligations of (i) $188 due within the next 12 months; (ii) $683 due beyond 12 months; (iii) $793 due through 2030; and (iv) future minimum lease payments of approximately $981. It appears that these numbers should be in thousands. In this regard, refer to the disclosure on page F-10 of future lease obligations stated in thousands. Please advise or revise. Response: we have revised the disclosure regarding lease obligations on page 40 to reflect that these numbers are in thousands. ● Reconcile references to "articles of incorporation and bylaws," "amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws," and "certificate of incorporation and bylaws" to clarify if these titles refer to the same documents. Refer to pages 31, 65 and II-2. Response: We have removed the references to "amended and restated" certificate of incorporation and bylaws. Thank you for the opportunity to respond to your comment. If you have additional questions or comments, please contact the undersigned at horatio@budajuice.com or (214) 724-9999.

We note that your forum selection provision identifies a state court located within the
State of Delaware (or, if no state court located within the State of Delaware has
jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) as the exclusive
forum for certain litigation, including any “derivative action.” Please disclose whether
this provision applies to actions arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act. If
so, please also state that there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such
provision. Revise to discuss the risks related to increased costs to bring a claim and
that these provisions can discourage claims or limit investors’ ability to bring a claim 1.

in a judicial forum that they find favorable. If the provision applies to Securities Act
claims, please also state that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal
securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. In that regard, we note that
Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state
courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities
Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. If this provision does not apply to actions
arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, please also ensure that the exclusive
forum provision in the governing documents states this clearly, or tell us how you will
inform investors in future filings that the provision does not apply to any actions
arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act. Finally, discuss this forum selection
provision in the Description of Capital Stock section.

disclose the duration of your trademarks.
Management, page 55
3.We note disclosure in the table on page 55 that Mo Hayat is a director nominee and
that your board is expected to be comprised of seven directors. This appears
inconsistent with disclosure on page 58 that your board is expected to be comprised of
six directors. Please advise or revise. Further, please update your beneficial ownership
table on page 64 to provide information for Mo Hayat. Finally, please revise to update
the bracketed information on pages 58 to 60 related to your director independence and

Principal Stockholders, page 64
5.Please tell us how you calculated the totals in the “All directors and executive officers
as a group” row. In this regard, it appears that the share ownership for each beneficial
owner is identical in the “Beneficial Ownership Before the Offering Common Stock”
and “Beneficial Ownership After the Offering Common Stock” columns except for
that of Horatio Lonsdale-Hands’s beneficial ownership, which reflects the Stock
Redemption of 500,000 shares per footnote (4). However, the difference in the “All
directors and executive officers as a group” totals for the two columns is 500,360
shares instead of 500,000 shares. Further, we note that the “All directors and
executive officers as a group” row includes the shares beneficially owned by 2469447
Ontario Ltd., your 5% stockholder. However, we note that there is no indication that
this stockholder is related to your directors and executive officers. Please advise or
revise.

6.We note your response to prior comment 17 and reissue in part. Please file your
indemnification agreements with each of your directors and executive officers.
Further, please reconcile the description of Exhibit 10.1 in the exhibit index, which
appears inconsistent with the exhibit title of 2025 Equity Incentive Plan. Additionally,
please advise if Exhibit 10.1 is the same as the “2025 Incentive Award Plan”
referenced on page 62 and revise to clarify. Finally, please revise the Executive and
Director Compensation section to disclose the material terms of Exhibit 10.1 and the

“Maximum Aggregate Offering Price” column of your fee table to reflect the
maximum offering price that you disclose in your prospectus for all offered securities,
including the over-allotment shares to be offered to the public and underwriter
warrants or advise. In this regard, it appears that you used the low end of your price
range of $7.50 instead of the high end range of $9.

8.It appears that the underwriter’s warrants will be governed by New York law. Refer to
Sections 6(e) of the Form of Underwriter’s Warrants and 8.6 of the Initial Form of
Underwriting Agreement, filed as Exhibits 4.2 and 1.1, respectively. If true, please
have New York counsel opine that the warrants are a binding obligation of the
