Campbell’s to offer new way to drink your veggies

In an effort to get even more of us who don't like vegetables to get our daily dose of them, Campbell Soup Co. is introducing a version of its V8 V-Fusion in tea form.

The Camden-based maker of V8 V-Fusion juices, as well as more traditional canned soup and other snacks, told analysts Monday that its new line of V8 V-Fusion teas will hit stores next month.

Like the juices, the teas will include vegetables but their flavor will be dominated by fruit.

The teas are the biggest product introduction the company announced Monday as part of a strategy to increase spending on its beverages and healthy snack lines.

The company also announced new products for China and Russia, where it has focused on broths until now. In China, it plants to test condensed soups sold in pouches and cans.
