Nestle USA, part of Nestle S.A., and Jamba Juice, a leading blender of fruit and other naturally healthy ingredients, announce an exclusive worldwide licensing agreement to produce and distribute a line of healthy ready-to-drink beverages under the Jamba brand name. The products will launch in the United States during the second quarter of 2008 and will include two distinct product offerings: Smoothies and Juicies.
