Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Flavor wins a “Great Gear™” Award!

The kids did it again! As you know we let kids help us develop flavors for Jungle Grub; our goal has always been to develop great tasting and nutritious snacks for kids, what better way than to include them in the development process. They did a great job once again; our Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough flavor has won a 2009 Great Gear™ award from ShapeYou.com.

We are especially proud of this award because our product is evaluated by nutritionist, health care practitioners, trainers and store owners for taste and nutrition.

Our product development strategy is working.

All three Jungle Grub flavors are award winners. In 2008 the Peanut Butter Groove flavor won a "Great Gear" Award and the Berry Bamboozle flavor won the "Seal of Excellence" from ShapeYou.com's annual GearAwards^TM.

In addition to the gear awards, in 2007 Jungle Grub was voted Kids Nutritional Product of the Year by the Ion Kids network.

Jungle Grub continues to grow. We recently added a national distributor, Kehe Food Distribution, to our distribution network. With the addition of Kehe Food Distributors we are now able to reach stores in 49 states. Check out our website www.junglegrub.com or our Facebook site for a list of retailers. Jungle Grub is also available on Amazon.com and ShopOrganic.com.

Message Regarding our Peanut Butter Products

Important Message for our Consumers

Organic Nutrition would like to reassure our consumers that our Peanut Butter Groove Jungle Grub Snack Bars are not affected by the recent developments involving peanut butter ingredients.

Neither Organic Nutrition nor our contract manufacturers source peanut butter or peanut ingredients from Peanut Corporation of America or the King Nut Corporation.

Organic Nutrition strives to produce products of the highest quality; as part of our contract manufacturers HACCP plan, all raw peanut ingredients are tested prior to use in production and subsequently each Lot Code must test negative for Salmonella prior to being released for production.

Jungle Grub Snack Bars have won three awards for great taste and nutrition. Each bar is only 100 calories, a good source of calcium and Vitamin C. They are certified USDA organic and certified gluten-free. With only 15 grams of carbohydrates and less sugar than an 8 oz glass of milk they are a great snack for all kids ages 3-99.

Jungle Grub Snack Bars Win GearAwardsTM!

The new school year is just getting started and parents nationwide are looking for exciting and healthy snacks for the millions of lunches made every morning. Parents put a lot of thought into lunches, with only a couple of minutes between getting the kids dressed and burning the morning waffles, they have to create something fast, healthy and made with items the kids will actually eat! Lunch time isn't just a time for kids to refuel; it's a social time with peers and a little bit of home zipped up in their favorite lunch box.

Jungle Grub® Snack Bars were developed to meet the SB-19 school nutrition requirements limiting the fat, sugar calorie intake, but they still look and taste like a treat. The developer, Organic Nutrition, Inc., stepped aside and let the kids be the deciding factor on the taste. It was a winning strategy.

Both flavors are award-winning! The Peanut Butter Groove flavor won a "Great Gear" Award and the Berry Bamboozle flavor won the "Seal of Excellence" in ShapeYou.com's annual GearAwards^TM. "We are especially proud of these awards, because these are the first products launched by Organic Nutrition, and they won high marks after being evaluated by nutritionists, health care practitioners, health food store owners and trainers. It validates our strategy and drives us to continue the development of high quality and innovative products!" says company president, Steven Brandt.

Jungle Grub Snack Bars are only 100 calories, a good source of Calcium and Vitamin C and offer 4 grams of protein, twice what you find in an average granola bar. With 14 or less grams of total carbohydrates, Jungle Grub is a perfect snack for diabetics - young and old - who need to stay under 15 grams of carbs per serving.

Jungle Grub Snack Bars can be found nationwide in many independent health food stores and on Amazon.com.
