A multi-faceted team of fitness, health and beverage industry changemakers, Dwayne Johnson, Dany Garcia, Dave Rienzi and John Shulman, announced the launch of ZOA™, a new healthy energy drink set to make waves in the category.

Rebellious Infusions launched Pure Energy Infusions, a premium range that maintains a high antioxidant level of 100mg as well as 100mg of caffeine per serving. Powered to increase a sense of alertness and enhance focus without the energy crash often synonymous with caffeinated beverages, the company launched three new flavors: Marvelous (Mango), Tenacious (Tangerine), and Courageous (Cherry).

Kemin Industries has added a new tool to its Kemin Food Technologies – North America website: an ingredient library designed to help customers identify ideal color, freshness and safety solutions for meat and poultry, baked goods, snack and fats and oils.

New handcrafted offerings include the unveiling of six refreshing, hand-shaken iced tea beverages made with real fruit pieces and fruit puree, Strawberry Lemon Black Tea, Yuzu Citrus Black Tea, Tropical Berry Green Tea, Pineapple Citrus Green Tea, Citrus Hibiscus Tea, and Berry Hibiscus Tea, as well as the limited-edition Strawberry Vanilla Cold Brew and Citrus Cremesicle Cold Brew.

To stay at the forefront of the CBD-infused beverage market and meet the demand for additional flavors of its most popular product, Elev8 Hemp will soon introduce peach, raspberry and hibiscus green iced teas.

Harnessing the power of premium organic Japanese matcha, each blend provides green tea nutrients with about 1/3 of the caffeine in a cup of coffee (30-40mg).

The Oi Ocha brand has been growing exponentially in the US market as consumer demand for authentic and healthier beverages continues to grow across the specialty, mainstream markets, and food service channels.

Featuring a refined taste of finely ground, noble Japanese tea, the unique variety has no added flavorings, no colorings, no preservatives and no hydrogenated fats.

A balanced combination of lemon and natural ginger flavor provides a fresh flavor, while the tooth-friendly sugar alternative isomaltulose gives the drink a mild sweetness as well as added health benefits. 

Results demonstrated that clean label alternatives such as FORTIUM® RGT12, a blend of rosemary and green tea, prevent oxidation as effectively as synthetic options, while maintaining higher scores with sensory panelists.
