Uncle Matt's Organic has announced the launch of two new no added sugar lemonade juice boxes for children. The variants include: No Sugar Added Lemonade and No Sugar Added Strawberry Lemonade. The shelf-stable range contains zero added sugars, is sweetened with stevia and boosted with 150% DV vitamin C, plus 25% DV vitamin D per serving for immune support. The new offerings contain organic Reb M stevia, which delivers sugar-like sweetness with zero calories and with no artificial sweeteners. Susan McLean, VP of marketing and innovation at Uncle Matt's Organic, said: "As a parent, I am especially excited about the launch of Uncle Matt's Organic No Sugar Added Lemonade juice boxes that are both kid and mum approved". She continued: "These juice box offerings taste delicious and contain 0% added sugar plus have the added benefit and functionality of vitamins C, D and Zinc for immune support. The Tetra Pak shelf-stable format is incredibly convenient for lunchboxes and travel as well." "So many offerings for kids are still loaded with sugar as well as artificial colours, flavours and ingredients. We are proud to launch an organic beverage option that was carefully crafted with vitamins and antioxidants for added functional and wellness benefits." Uncle Matt's Organic No Sugar Added Lemonade juice boxes are available for an SRP of $4.99 per eight-pack of 6.7oz boxes at select retailers nationwide, including Whole Foods Market, The Fresh Market and Mom's Organic Market.
