Kern's (beverage company)

Kern's Beverages, commonly known as Kern's, is a beverage company based in Santa Ana, California, but often the drinks are manufactured in Mexico. The company is a subsidiary of the Mexican drink company Jumex.

Their main product line is Kern's Nectar, a non-carbonated, sweetened fruit nectar drink, which uses fruit puree as the primary flavoring agent. This all-natural product line discontinued the use of high fructose corn syrup, and is sold in a variety of containers. Kern's Nectar is made in Mexico, with many flavors featuring tropical fruits. They also produce lines of Mexican beverages like agua frescas, and specifically horchata.[1]

History

The company was started in the 1920s, and it was incorporated in 1932.[2][3] The company was acquired by Nestlé in 1985.[3] In 2004, Kern's was sold to a group of investors led by Stremicks Heritage Foods.[4] In 2013, Kern's was acquired by Jumex.[4]
