“We removed the FDA-approved coloring agent because some consumers told us they loved the product but didn’t believe it needed any dyes. Now, we have an improved, clear beverage with delicious flavors the brand has been known for,” Peter Dacey, Co-Founder and CEO of Miami Bay Beverage (MBB), said in a press release.

The brand also added a Kosher certification to its graphics.

About Trimino, from the Trimino webpage:

"The Miami Bay Beverage Company, LLC (“MBB”) was founded based on the shared vision of its founders who had a desire to bring to the market a true functional beverage that not only is great tasting and refreshing but also healthier than the current alternatives on the market. We saw a beverage landscape that lacked protein infused beverages that taste great, were low in calories and had an additional boost of vitamins creating a nutritionally productive drink with no excess calories, no sugar and no caffeine."
