Thailand: Ivy launches plum and tamarind juice drinks in SIG XSlimBloc carton packs

BANGKOK, May 13, 2024 - (ACN Newswire) - I.P. Natural Products (I.P.) has expanded its popular Ivy beverage brand, so far consisting of UHT drinking yogurts, to include juices in SIG XSlimBloc carton packs, 170 ml and 200 ml. 

Ivy’s new juice range will be introduced in two Asian-inspired flavors: tamarind - a refreshing juice made with premium local Thai ingredients, and plum - a tangy-sweet juice made with fresh Taiwanese plums.
