New PACt cranberry extract water kicks off the next generation of Ocean Spray products that harness the power of the cranberry in a refreshing new way. The shelf-stable beverage contains PACs, or proanthocyanidins, which are powerful antioxidants found inside cranberries that help cleanse and purify the body.
“We found a way to concentrate the unique health-promoting elements found deep inside the cranberry through the development of a cranberry extract made with a patented process,” says Christina Khoo, director of research sciences. With only 10 calories per 16-oz. bottle, PACt water contains just seven ingredients: purified water, cranberry extract, agave nectar, stevia, monkfruit extract, natural fruit flavors and sea salt. PACt is merchandised alongside other value-added waters.
For consumers who enjoy Ocean Spray cranberry juice and the health benefits of black tea, the company now offers two varieties of shelf-stable iced tea in 96-oz. multi-serve plastic bottles. The varieties are Original Cranberry and White Cranberry Peach. Tea is a source of antioxidants known as catechins. They have been shown to assist with heart health, prevent cancer and slow the aging process. Together with cranberry juice, this is one powerful drink.
