“As people become more knowledgeable about wellness and ingredients, we’ve noticed consumers turning to food and beverages in a prescriptive way to address specific lifestyle issues or complaints,” said Uncle Matt’s Organic’s VP of Marketing & Innovation, Susan McLean. “Our organic functional juices are what consumers have been turning to for their daily immune support, so it was a natural progression for us to enter into the functional shots category by providing potent formulas and convenient options made from organic and multi-functional ingredients to address things like immune support, gut health and vitality.”
The Florida-based juice company was acquired back in 2017 by Dean Foods Co for an undisclosed sum. Following its new owner’s filing for bankruptcy in late-2019, Uncle Matt’s returned to founder Matt McLean just over a year ago.
