Cranberry juice UTI: Cranberry juice is a very common tool for people with urinary symptoms. It cannot and will not stain the urine. If you are still having the original symptoms despite using cranberry juice you may need to be seen by your medical advisor.

Potentially: Although cranberries don't typically stain urine, the pigments may do so. Smaller amounts can lead to light pink urine & darker pink with larger amounts. http://www.livestrong.com/article/539121-do-cranberries-stain-your-urine/
