RYE BROOK, N.Y. (AFX) - Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages, a unit of U.K. candy and softdrink producer Cadbury Schweppes PLC, on Thursday said it is expanding its Mott's brand line of products in a bid to target nutrition-conscious women.
Mott's is introducing Mott's Plus Light juice line in Apple Cranberry and Apple Blueberry flavors. The company is also adding Healthy Harvest Blueberry Delight apple sauce.
A 64-ounce bottle of Mott's Plus Light juice -- which has half the calories and sugar of regular 100 percent apple juice -- will retail at $2.79; while the apple sauce will cost $2.39.
The new products are targeted toward women who are looking for key nutrients while watching calories and sugar, the company said.
American depositary shares of Cadbury Schweppes rose 13 cents to $38.24 during afternoon trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Copyright 2006 Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be
