That’s It Nutrition + PepsiCo Selling Tropicana and Other Juice Brands

Are short and sweet ingredient lists the latest health trend in snack foods? In this episode of the Xtalks Food Podcast, Sydney introduces the team to That’s It Nutrition, the maker of snacks with six ingredients or fewer. Hear more from Sydney’s interview with the company’s founder and CEO, Dr. Lior Lewensztain, where they discuss the brand’s philosophy, products and trend-setting abilities in the health foods space.

Also in this episode, Sydney discusses PepsiCo’s latest sale of its juice business, including Tropicana and Naked juice brands, for $3.3 billion. PepsiCo said it would use the proceeds to focus on healthier snack and beverage offerings. The team wonders whether the sale had more to do with declining sales than it did the “unhealthy” nature of juice, and discusses PepsiCo’s seemingly hypocritical decision to sell its juice brands to focus on its core portfolio of sodas.
