Paterson, N.J. – Kontos Foods, Inc. (www.kontos.com), a manufacturer and distributor of traditional Mediterranean foods, today announced the re-launch of its SmartCarb flatbread as Kontos Greek Lifestyle Flatbread.

“With this flatbread, we invite health and weight-conscious consumers to welcome bread back into their kitchens,” said Steve Kontos, vice president of Kontos Foods. “Kontos Greek Lifestyle Flatbread represents a new category of healthful foods that promote wellness and enjoyment of life and eating. We formulated the Greek Lifestyle flatbread to give it a nutritional benefit profile similar Greek yogurt – higher protein, lower carbs and fewer calories.”

“As a Greek-owned company and leader in the flatbread category, Kontos Foods is very keyed into consumers’ desires for products that provide better-for-you and life-long health and wellness benefits. The Greek Lifestyle Flatbread has double the protein content of other flatbreads – and it does not have the high fat and cholesterol typically associated with meat or dairy products,” said Warren Stoll, Kontos Foods’ marketing director. “Our initial feedback from retail stores and restaurants – both on the product and on the premium packaging – has been very positive.”
