Ocean Spray® Makes a Splash with the Launch of a Groundbreaking Beverage Innovation – a Truly Functional Water | Business Wire

LAKEVILLE-MIDDLEBORO, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Ocean Spray® brand, known for creating the modern juice aisle, has

now set its sights on reinventing the water aisle with a beverage

innovation that is sure to change the functional beverage landscape.

Introducing PACt™ cranberry extract water, the next generation of Ocean

Spray’s product portfolio that harnesses the power of the cranberry in a

refreshing new way. PACt™ cranberry extract water from Ocean Spray®

contains PACs, or proanthocyanidins – powerful elements found deep

inside cranberries, to help cleanse and purify your body better than

water alone.*

“Although the marketplace is filled with beverage options that try to

meet the needs of consumers struggling to get enough water into their

daily routine, let’s face it, there isn’t one currently that does that

in a meaningful way with truly functional benefits,” said Ken Romanzi,

Chief Operating Officer of Global Brands at Ocean Spray. “With the

Launch of PACt™ cranberry extract water, we’ve created an even better

water that harnesses the unique power of the cranberry through a

breakthrough cranberry extract innovation, 10 years in the making. PACt™

water contains the cleansing and purifying benefits of the cranberry

without all the sugar and calories.”

The Power Behind PACt™ Water

The power of PACt™ cranberry extract water lies in the 80 milligrams of

PACs, or proanthocyanidins, found inside every 16-ounce, single serve

bottle. PACs are natural elements found in cranberries that contain

unique A-type PACs, which help cleanse and purify the body by allowing

certain harmful bacteria to be flushed away naturally.

“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 patent-pending process,” said Christina Khoo, PhD,

Director of Research Sciences, Ocean Spray.”

PACt™ water gives you those benefits without excess sugar or calories

and provides a great option for those looking for a tasty alternative to

plain water.

The Next Generation of Ocean Spray® Products

A cutting-edge new product, PACt™ water is the start of the next

generation of products from Ocean Spray® that allows consumers to enjoy

the cranberry’s health benefits in a new way. PACt™ water contains just

7 ingredients including purified water, 80 milligrams of unique

cranberry PACs, natural sweeteners like agave nectar, stevia, monkfruit

extract, natural fruit flavors, and sea salt. With only 10 calories per

16-ounce bottle, PACt™ water is deliciously hydrating – it has a

slightly tart, yet refreshingly robust fruit flavor.

PACt™ water provides a simple way to hydrate with health benefits of the

cranberry and is a smart step toward a healthier lifestyle.

Where to Find PACt™ Cranberry Extract Water

PACt™ water can be found in the water aisle today at major retailers in

California and Nevada and online. Beginning in 2015, PACt™ water will be

available nationwide. Enjoy it in four delicious flavors: Cranberry
