Brooklyn, New York – Peeled Snacks, maker of organic, gently-dried fruit snacks, heads to grocery stores with a new line of organic fruit snacks available in a larger, resealable bag. This new snack line, designed specifically for grocery shoppers, makes meeting daily fruit serving requirements easy and convenient. With the option of three mixes and five single-fruit varieties to choose from, it’s simple to keep the cabinets stocked with yummy treats for the whole family to enjoy.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that less than 33% of adults are eating fruit at least twice a day, leaving Americans far from meeting the Healthy People 2010 target of 75%[1]. The study found that adults who consume fruit two or more times daily declined from 34.4% to 32.5% between 2000 and 2009[2].
On the first anniversary of Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” campaign and with the release of the 2010 Dietary Guidelines (US Health and Human Services), Americans are searching for guilt free, delicious snacks to include in a healthier lifestyle. “It’s alarming that our fruit consumption is so low. Peeled Snacks is excited to be a part of the solution by offering convenient, real fruit snacks that are tasty and satisfying,” comments Noha Waibsnaider, Peeled Snacks CEO.
Peeled Snacks provide natural goodness — just organic fruit with nothing added: no sugar, no artificial sweeteners and no oils. The snacks are naturally packed with fiber, essential vitamins and minerals that nourish and satiate, and are gluten, dairy, and cholesterol free. Eight new Peeled Snacks organic fruit varieties are available in select grocery stores and at the Peeled Snacks website (www.peeledsnacks.com). Noha Waibsnaider comments, “Our new, organic fruit snacks come in resealable pouches and contain several servings of fruit making them a great snack for families concerned about eating enough fruit. We firmly believe in the importance of eating food that is as natural as possible, so we’re thrilled to launch this new line of nourishing, organic snacks.”
