Ocean Spray reveals new snack flavor
'Craisins have long been a pantry staple for toppings and mix-ins, but these new flavors are here to redefine how people snack,' said Kelvin Vuong, Head of US Foods and Snacking at Ocean Spray. Ocean Spray created these flavors to help the Craisin brand's push to expand how fans enjoy dried fruit.
They are currently available at retailers nationwide, including Walmart, for around $3.99 per bag. In the past two years, the brand has also introduced limited-edition flavors, including S'mores, Blueberry Crisp, and Raspberry Cheesecake Dipped Cranberry Mix.
The company gave users a hint of what turned out to be the Chili Lime flavor on June 3 in an Instagram post. A commenter mistakenly thought it was 'Ketchup & Mustard' or 'Salchicha,' but multiple fans correctly guessed the flavor and said it sounded 'so good.'
'Tried them at the convention. I couldn't be more excited,' another Instagram user wrote regarding both Craisin flavors. 'Sour blueberry lemon is definitely one tasty little pucker,' another person commented.
Besides the new flavors, Ocean Spray is introducing a refreshed look of its fan-favorite Infused with Cherry Craisins. These changes and more are part of the company's 'Just Add Cran' campaign. The marketing strategy aims to show consumers that good things will happen when they add cranberry to their lives.
Ocean Spray plans to promote this campaign through digital advertising and influencer content. A company van will also set off on a cross-country tour across the nation this September to offer fans free Craisin samples.
Founded in 1930 by three farmers looking to create Jellied Cranberry Sauce, the company immediately attracted growers from Wisconsin, Washington, and Oregon. Ocean Spray was 'changing the dried fruit game' by the 1990s by producing Craisins. It also surpassed $1 billion in product sales.
It is currently one of the leading producers of cranberries and grows the fruit in other areas outside the US, such as France, Mexico, Chile, and Canada. As of now, around 700 family farmers grow their cranberries for Ocean Spray. DailyMail.com has reached out to Ocean Spray for comment about the new flavors.

Cole Palmer sports limited-edition Richard Mille watch worth a staggering £220K as England star jets off with Chelsea to begin the Blues' Club World Cup campaign
Cole Palmer was seen wearing a watch worth an eye-watering £220,000 as the Chelsea star boarded a flight bound for the Club World Cup. Palmer, 23, wore the watch as he gazed out of a plane window in a photo uploaded to the Blues' social media accounts before they took off for the United States. He was sporting a Richard Mille RM 07-04 that is claimed to have been inspired as a nod to Italy's impressive collection of luxury car brands. A green, black, white, and red colour scheme also pays homage to the tricolour of the Italian flag and is made from lightweight titanium. That has seen the watch become a popular piece with professional footballers - with Palmer being the latest to exhibit it. Palmer has been able to shell out for the rare watch thanks to the salary he commands at Stamford Bridge, which sits at a reported £130,000, per Capology. Enzo Maresca's side will face Los Angeles FC in their first match of the tournament on Monday evening, before taking on Brazilian side Flamengo three days later. Their final group sees them play ES Tunis, after which they will hope to have advanced to the knockout stages and the final - which takes place on July 13. Maresca has thrown up some surprises with his squad selection, which has seen highly-rated youngster Kendry Paez fly to the US despite being omitted. The expectation remains that Paez, the 18-year-old Ecuadorian, will leave on loan this summer. He was signed on a pre-agreement at the age of 16 for £17million, and Chelsea's sister club Strasbourg is his likeliest destination. While it is understood Paez's preference would be to be around Chelsea's first team over the next season, the club are considering what is best for his progress. Andrey Santos has been used as an example over how a temporary stay at Strasbourg can benefit beneficial, with the 21-year-old Brazilian among those in their Club World Cup squad in the United States. Chelsea flew to Philadelphia on Friday to begin their prep for FIFA's expanded club competition. New man Liam Delap is expected to .

Trump's FAA pick has long claimed he has a commercial pilot's license. Reports show he does not
President Donald Trump's pick to lead the Federal Aviation Administration has long claimed to have a commercial pilot's license – but new reports suggest otherwise. Bryan Bedford, the CEO of Republic Airways, was listed on the airline's website as holding 'commercial, multi-engine and instrument pilot ratings' until Thursday, but after his credentials came under question, the word 'commercial,' was removed from the description on Friday, Politico reported. Records obtained by Politico revealed that Bedford does not have a commercial pilot's license registered with the FAA – though he has claimed to since at least 2010, according to the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. While he does not have a commercial license, Bedford is a licensed private pilot, according to FAA records viewed by Politico. Bedford passed 'written and oral exams' in order to fly commercial aircraft, the Department of Transportation said, before claiming Bedford had not 'personally nor publicly claimed to be a commercial airline pilot.' 'Bryan never misrepresented his credential; it was an administrative error that was immediately corrected,' DOT said in a statement. His pilot credentials have been called into question previously, including in reporting by aviation news outlet The Air Current, with the publication writing, 'Bedford is a pilot himself, although not a commercial pilot, as he has sometimes claimed to be.' Bedford also faced questioning last week from the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee as part of the nomination process. During the questioning, Bedford faced harsh critiques over his lack of an answer when asked if he would scrap the FAA's rule that people seeking to become airline pilots log at least 1,500 of flight time. 'It doesn't sound like a yes,' Rep. Tammy Duckworth said. 'It sounds like you're leaving the door open to reduce the number of flight hours below 1,500.' Bedford responded: 'What I'm saying is I don't believe safety is static.' No one mentioned his credentials, according to Politico. His nomination comes amid calls for a renewed interest in safety concerns at the agency following a deadly mid-air collision near Washington D.C.'s Reagan National Airport in January that killed 67 people.

Under-pressure rate setters on both sides of Atlantic hold the line
Central banks on both sides of the Atlantic will set the course for the direction of interest rates this week as Donald Trump's trade war looms over the global economy. Both the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England are expected to leave rates on hold when they announce their latest policy decisions on Wednesday and Thursday, but could give clues about the pace of rate cuts to come. Pressure is mounting for Fed chief Jerome Powell and Bank governor Andrew Bailey to act. In the UK, fears that a bright start to the year for the economy could falter are rising after figures last week showed gross domestic product shrank by 0.3 per cent in April, partly blamed on the impact of tariffs as well as Labour's decision to hike employer National Insurance Contributions. Meanwhile, figures showed the UK has lost a quarter of million jobs since autumn's Budget. Bailey recently told MPs that he is sticking to a 'careful' approach to interest rates for now but will act 'aggressively' if needed in the face of global uncertainty. That has helped stoke hopes of a rate cut later this summer. Those hopes could be further lifted if official figures this Wednesday, a day before the Bank's rate decision, show inflation easing as expected. Thomas Pugh, of accountancy firm RSM, said it was a 'sure bet' that the Bank will keep rates on hold at 4.25 per cent on Thursday. But he added: 'Looking ahead, the deterioration in the labour market, weaker economic growth along with inflation... should give the Bank all the cover it needs to cut rates again in August.' In the US, Powell faces a different kind of pressure. While jobs growth has slowed, tariffs have yet to produce a severe impact on economic data, with inflation remaining mild. That has left markets betting that the Fed will continue its 'wait and see' policy on how to respond to the impact of Trump's erratic policy making. But Powell's inaction has displeased the President, with Trump calling Powell a 'numbskull' as he demanded a rate cut. Michael Krautzberger, head of public markets at AllianzGI, said Fed comments 'have highlighted a reluctance to change the policy stance in the near term'.
