Ocean Spray is distributing its new Cranberry +health juice drink to hospitals, managed-care facilities and retirement homes
Ocean Spray, Lakeville-Middleboro, Mass., is distributing its new Cranberry +health juice drink nationwide to hospitals, managed-care facilities and retirement homes as a potential nutritional approach to help reduce urinary tract infections (UTIs). Officials note that UTIs are the second most common infection, and catheter-associated UTIs (CAUTIs) are the most common healthcare-associated infection, with significant associated costs.
“Cranberry +health may be part of a more holistic solution to help lower healthcare costs associated with UTIs and CAUTIs, by reducing the occurrence of those infections,” says Christina Khoo, PhD, director of global health sciences and regulatory affairs at Ocean Spray.
