Del Monte Introduces new Carb Clever Fruits!
November 1 — NEW PRODUCT:
Del Monte Foods announced sweet news for the millions of Americans who are
forgoing the tremendous health benefits of fruit while following a low-carbohydrate diet.
Del Monte Foods has developed the Del Monte Carb Clever brand, a new line of canned fruit
that provides the same nutritional benefits of regular canned fruit, but has 50 to 70 percent
fewer carbs.
Scheduled to hit shelves in November, Del Monte Carb Clever will give consumers a new way to enjoy
the goodness and sweetness of fruit, while eating smart. Rather than packing the fruit in heavy syrup or
natural fruit juices, Del Monte Carb Clever is packed in water and sweetened with Splenda.
The result is great tasting, ready-to-eat fruit that's lower in carbs and calories, while retaining a
natural, sweet taste.
The complete line includes the following five products:
- 14.5 oz. sliced peaches
- 14.5 oz. fruit cocktail
- 14.5 oz. sliced pears
- 8.25 oz. pear chunks
- 8.25 oz. peach chunks
Low Carb Luxury is tops on the list to receive these new fruits and will be reviewing them at our site soon.

and clean finish."
Bacardi Silver Low Carb Green Apple and Bacardi Silver Low Carb Black Cherry, which was introduced

new drink, which is 4 percent alcohol by volume, will be available in six-packs of 12-oz. bottles.

While the lemon-lime beverage's formula is unchanged, Diet Sprite Zero is packaged in a clear
version of Sprite's signature, 20-oz. "dimple" bottle with a metallic label featuring the brand's
green and blue colors with yellow accents.
