Officials say the new offerings feature all natural Dole fruit and juice in four flavors: Grape, Raspberry, Strawberry and Acai Blueberry. Dole will distribute the line to North American retail grocery stores, mass merchandisers and club stores with product available in 6-, 12-, 18-, 24- and 36-unit cartons.

"We are delighted to bring together Dole and Target Foods to create this innovative new product line, further extending the Dole brand presence in the frozen foods aisle.”
