Ocean Spray responds to criticism
The National Consumers League's claim Ocean Spray's "choice" sweetened dried cranberries ingredient was mislabeled is inaccurate, the company says.
Following is part of a statement by Ocean Spray's Geoff Woolford, vice president of research and development:
"Our Choice product is made from Grade A superior frozen whole cranberries which are then sliced and sent through our patented process including infusion of sugar, citric acid and elderberry juice to infuse flavor and color specifically developed to meet our industrial customers' needs for their variety of recipes. Being made from whole cranberries, Choice retains many of the same healthful compounds."
Ocean Spray was responding to the National Consumers League, which sent a letter Tuesday to the US Food and Drug Administration. The National Consumers League asked that it look into the labeling of Ocean Spray Cranberries Inc.'s "choice" brand.
