Dive Insight:
Non-soup categories, including beverages remain vital to Campbell's growth, as evidenced by the company's most recent earnings report, where juices and innovative approaches to delivering soup were highlighted among its strengths going forward.
These new Bolthouse flavors seem poised to compete with holiday drinks that coffee drinkers (and particularly Starbucks customers) will be familiar with.
