PepsiCo will sell Tropicana and other juices to a private-equity firm in a $3.3 billion deal.
The New York drink and snack company will keep a 39% noncontrolling stake in a newly formed joint venture in the deal with PAI Partners, PepsiCo said Tuesday.
The sale reflects the industry s uncertainty about demand for fruit juice as consumers look for healthier options with less sugar, said Howard Telford, head of soft drinks at Euromonitor International, a market research firm.
