We have good news for you Mindanaoan Moms! The Tang we grew up with just got better. Introducing Tang Sweet Orange.
It is our favorite powdered juice but now with a more yummy sweet taste and enhanced fortification benefits.
Better Tang Sweet Orange
Tang comes with a sweet, superior taste that children love. Juice is a good way to hydrate, especially during the summer season. And the new Tang makes sure it delivers health benefits with every sip. It has added Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and Zinc.
