Abbott Laboratories Launches PediaSure SideKicks Clear For Picky Eaters

5/16/2012 9:40 AM ET

Abbott Laboratories (ABT: Quote) Wednesday announced that it has introduced PediaSure SideKicks Clear, a refreshing clear nutritional beverage that helps balance out the diet of those picky eaters who are growing fine, but still may be missing nutrients.

The new nutritional beverage is aimed for those children who often tend to be picky-eaters, and have every possibility of missing out of the protein and other essential nutrients in their daily food intake.

The global health care company claims that one 6.8 fl oz serving of PediaSure SideKicks Clear provides as much protein as one large egg, as much vitamin D as a 6 ounce yogurt cup, and as much vitamin A as a half cup of zucchini, in addition to new kid-approved flavors - Berry and Tropical Fruit. The company further added that one serving of the beverage includes 120 calories, 19 essential vitamins and minerals, including 3 essential antioxidants in a fat free formulation.

A leading indicator of Australian economic activity continued to signal above-trend growth for the economy in the coming quarters, a report from Westpac and Melbourne Institute showed Wednesday. The annualized growth rate of the leading index, which indicates the likely pace of economic activity three to nine months into the future, was 5.4 percent in April, comfortably above its long term trend. Publishing and design software maker Adobe Systems Inc. said Tuesday after the markets closed that its second quarter profit fell 66% from last year, hurt by lower revenue as well as higher costs and expenses. However, the company's quarterly earnings per share, excluding items, came in above analysts' expectations and its quarterly revenue was in line with analysts' forecast. Stocks showed a strong upward move over the course of the trading day on Tuesday, adding to the gains posted in the previous session. The rally came even as traders expressed some uncertainty ahead of tomorrow's Federal Reserve announcement. The major averages gave back some ground going into the close but remained firmly in positive territory.
