Jamba and Sundia to Launch a Proprietary Line of Ready-to-Eat, Boosted Fruit Cups

EMERYVILLE, Calif. (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Jamba Juice Company (NASDAQ: JMBA), a highly recognized, healthy active lifestyle brand, and Sundia Corporation, the nation's fastest growing produce brand, today announced an exclusive licensing agreement to develop and launch an innovative new line of proprietary Jamba-branded fruit cups. The two companies will leverage current health and wellness trends to create a line of great-tasting, better-for-you, nutritionally-boosted fruit cups that can be eaten as a convenient snack or as a supplement to any meal. The product line is expected to launch in grocery, convenience, and other retail outlets in early 2011.

"Our goal is to develop differentiated and innovative Jamba-branded products that make it convenient and easy for health-conscious consumers to lead healthier and more active lives," said Julie Washington, vice president and general manager, Consumer Products, Jamba Juice Company. "This latest offering created with Sundia leverages our respective product innovation expertise in fruit and wellness supplements to create a proprietary line of wholesome and delicious, fruit-based snacks that are functionally differentiated from other offerings."

Offered in a convenient, on-the-go package, the fruit cups provide a quick and easy way for kids and adults alike to eat more fruit.

"Sundia is well-known for its ready-to-eat fruit and fresh produce products and Jamba is at the forefront of developing outstanding fruit-forward products designed to make living healthier easy and enjoyable," said, Dan Hoskins, chief operating officer and founder, Sundia Corporation.
