Leahy-IFP launches innovative All Friends Beverage Infusions, the 'better for you' beverage solution that's better for consumers, restaurant operators and the environment

GLENVIEW, Ill., Feb. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Leahy-IFP introduces All Friends Beverage Infusions, juice and tea-based concentrates that addresses consumer demand for delicious, 'better for you' beverages. All Friends is made with less sugar than typical foodservice offerings and fortified with antioxidants, vitamins, and electrolytes to support immunity, natural energy and hydration while containing no artificial sweeteners, flavors, colors, or preservatives.

All Friends answers rising demand for delicious, 'better for you' beverage options, especially among Millennials and Gen Z who control the largest share of dollars in the QSR and fast casual space. "We reimagined functional beverage to be craveable and outrageously delicious by embracing the way consumers want to eat and drink today while keeping the restaurant operator in mind," states Michael Lojkutz, Director of Innovation at Leahy-IFP. "We developed refreshing flavors to pair with QSR and fast casual food offerings, complimenting operator cuisine while packing All Friends in aseptic, plant-based packaging made primarily from renewable resources, raising the industry bar on both product quality and responsible packaging."

Available in six flavors, Blueberry Chai, Strawberry Hibiscus, Mango Chili, Pineapple Ginger, Farmstand Lemonade and Black Tea, All Friends is a flexible 3x1 base that mixes with still or sparkling water, lemonade, teas, dairy-free milks, and more. The line provides operators greater flexibility and profitability and is a new alternative for customers that usually order water.

All Friends is packed in 32 fl. oz. aseptic cartons manufactured by Leahy IFP's strategic partner, SIG Combibloc, a global leader in sustainable packaging solutions. "All Friends is more than just offering consumers a delicious 'better for you' beverage and empowering operators with a stronger, more flexible, and profitable beverage program – it's a commitment to responsible manufacturing practices and to creating a sustainable foodservice future," states Mike Leahy, CEO of Leahy-IFP. "We're delivering what both consumers and operators are asking for."
