MOTT'S: Nurturing Goodness for Your Family Since 1842

Yes, an  apple a day does keep the doctor away! The apple, that shiny, beautiful red fruit which teased its way into Eve's heart and lured Snow White into an enchanting sleep, is packed with all sorts of nutritional benefits.

Since then, it has been nurturing goodness among Filipino families. Mott
