Jones Soda announced entering the functional beverage space with Pop Jones, an all-natural prebiotic beverage.

Available in five flavors — Cucumber Watermelon, Pineapple Ginger, Orange & Cream, Strawberry Passionfruit, Mixed Berry & Kiwi — Pop Jones is sweetened with a clean combination of real fruit juice, pure cane sugar and natural stevia leaf extract, with just 30 calories in each 12-ounce can, the company notes. It contains only 4 grams of total sugar including just 2 grams of added sugar and provides a generous dose of fiber and immune support with a blend of apple cider vinegar, agave inulin and 20% of the recommended daily intake of zinc, it says.

“Functional beverages with cleaner ingredients and lower sugar content have created a new modern soda category that meets rising consumer demand for tastier and healthier food and beverage choices,” said David Knight, CEO of Jones Soda, in a statement. “With our nearly three decades of flavor innovation and broad brand recognition, Pop Jones is poised to become a major player in a space that is redefining soda.”

Pop Jones is shelf-stable with no need for refrigeration. The line debuts this month at select retail locations as well as at the company’s website.
