BanglaDutch Developments Ltd Company has recently launched its fruit juice -- i am real -- which will be produced and bottled at its factory in Modhupur, Tangail, the company said in a statement yesterday.
The premium juice is available in 200ml glass bottles packaged exclusively for daily treats at the Westin Dhaka hotel.
The pineapple juice free of any preservatives, sugar or other additives will be available at selected superstores from April 2013, according to the statement.
Md Abdur Razzaque, food and disaster management minister, launched the juice at the Westin on Friday when GS de Jong, Dutch ambassador; Shykh Siraj, director and head of news of Channel-i; and Ad Schouls, managing director of BanglaDutch, were also present.
“It is very refreshing to come across a product that is as pure, healthy and as natural as 'i am real'. I think 'i am real' will not only be loved by the people, it will also set new standards in the food and beverage industry in terms of quality and purity,” said Razzaque.
“'i am real' tastes great and offers many health benefits that you would find in a real fruit. We hope the people of Bangladesh will love it,” said Schouls.
The juice will also be found in other flavours, including orange, apple and pear, in the coming months, according to the statement.
BanglaDutch Developments was formed in January 2011 with foreign direct investment from the Netherlands.
