CRANBERRIES
Not Crazy About Craisins
</hdr><body>
<p> Those funky singing California raisins may be in for some
competition from a new kid on the block: the Craisin. Invented by
Ocean Spray, a Craisin is a cranberry that has been dried and
sugared to sweeten its tart flavor. The product is innocent enough,
but the Craisin name has turned raisin producers sour. California
growers, who spent $25 million last year promoting raisins, think
Craisin is a rip-off. "If it's a cranberry, why don't they call it
a cranberry?" asks Don Martens, a member of the California Raisin
Advisory Board.
</p>
<p> But Ocean Spray, based in Plymouth, Mass., believes the
growers' fuss is fruitless. It says there will be no confusion
between the two products, since labels will read CRAISIN: DRIED
CRANBERRIES. Craisins will be sold as a snack and as an ingredient
in other foods. They can also be found next month in a new Ralston
Purina breakfast cereal. But the real question is, Can they sing?
