Mott’s 100% Original Apple Juice in can are great for baon and picnics!

Last May 7, Mott’s, together with Fly Ace Corporation, held a Summer Family Fun Day event at Bonifacio High Street in BGC. It was a fun, picnic-themed event that showcased Mott’s 100% Original Apple Juice.

Mott’s 100% Original Apple Juice only has three ingredients – water, apple juice concentrate, and Vitamin C. That’s right, there’s no added sugar!

A trusted name since 1842, Mott’s supports moms in their journey to raise healthy and independent kids and want to provide everyday nutritious solutions to help her in that journey. Motts is the perfect drink in hand after a day of enjoying and being out in the sun, and no doubt an all year round staple in a can that’s filled with nutrients. The kids won’t even know they’re consuming real, whole, and pure apple juice that’s neither bland nor boring.
