Zero-Calorie Mandarin Sodas

Jarritos Mandarin Zero is a First From the Brand

Jarritos Mandarin Zero is the Mexican soda brand's first zero calorie, zero sugar refreshment crafted with the preferences of today's consumer in mind. The soda features the signature flavor of the brand's Mandarin flavor, but is made with no sugar and has no calories to make it great for consumers seeking out a more permissible way to get their soda fix. The product is arriving just in time to coincide with the brand's 75th anniversary and is launching into around 4,500 retailers in the US to maximize access for shoppers.

Director of Marketing at Novamex Eric Delamare spoke on the Jarritos Mandarin Zero saying, "Fans have asked for a Jarritos option that fits zero-calorie lifestyles without losing the real fruit taste they love. Mandarin Zero is a true breakthrough, delivering the same authentic flavor of our number-one seller, in a zero-calorie recipe consumers couldn't tell apart from the original."
