4 Mar 2010 --- Campbell Soup Company is now making its popular V8 V-Fusion 100% juice available in single-serving, 8-ounce slim cans. The new cans are available in six-packs at supermarkets nationwide as well as 24-packs of 11.5-ounce, multi-serve cans at select club stores.

Available in Pomegranate Blueberry and Strawberry Banana varieties, the cans are ideal for packing in a purse or in a child’s lunchbox. Each 8-ounce can provides a full serving of vegetables (1/2 cup) and a full serving of fruit (1/2 cup), as well as essential antioxidant vitamins A, C and E and no added sugar.

Currently, seven out of ten Americans don’t get their government-recommended vegetable servings each day, but research suggests the key to bridging this “vegetable gap” may be to focus on the factors that are often behind it: convenience and enjoyment.1,2 The makers of V8 juice continue to address these barriers through innovation.

“Most people know that they don’t get enough vegetables – but it can be challenging to find great-tasting options throughout the day,” said Dale Clemiss, Vice President, Beverage Marketing, V8 Beverages. “That’s why we are constantly striving to offer more and more ways to help people get their vegetables any time, anywhere through new products like V8 V-Fusion cans.”

Helping Ensure a Healthier Generation

The 8-ounce slim cans of V8 V-Fusion juice are also a part of Campbell’s North America Foodservice division’s effort to expand its line of beverages that meet the Alliance for a Healthier Generation's nutritional requirements for products served in schools.

The Alliance for a Healthier Generation is a partnership between the American Heart Association and the William J. Clinton Foundation and supporting products are sold in participating schools nationwide. Other Campbell beverages that meet the requirements include 5.5-ounce cans of V8 100% vegetable juice, 5.5-ounce cans of V8 Low Sodium Vegetable juice and 5.5-ounce cans of V8 Spicy Hot vegetable juice.
