Tropicana Introduces Tropicana Tropolis™ To Squeeze More Fruit Into Kids’ Daily Diets

Tropicana Products, Inc., a division of PepsiCo, Inc. (NYSE: PEP), announced it is testing a new portable kids snack called Tropicana Tropolis™ – a smooth blend of real squeezable fruit, packed with nutrition, designed for kids. America's iconic juice brand for more than 50 years, Tropicana created this innovative new food line to help moms squeeze the goodness of fruit into kids' daily diets by making fruit fun.

With challenges in mind that moms and kids face when it comes to consuming enough fruits and vegetables, Tropicana worked with moms, kids and health experts including dietitians and pediatricians to develop this healthy, delicious, lunchbox and grab-and-go snack. Price, availability and convenience are the three main barriers for moms when it comes to squeezing fruits and vegetables into everyday routines, leaving Americans, including children, short on the five to 13 fruit and vegetable servings recommended for everyday consumption¹.
