Just in Time for Back to School Lunches & Cholesterol Awareness Month: The First and Only Snack Chip Proven to Reduce Cholesterol
Los Angeles (Aug. 14, 2007) – Corazonas Foods, Inc., creators of great-tasting, heart-healthy snack foods, announced that its Corazonas Heart-Healthy Tortilla Chips are now available at Raley’s Superstores throughout Northern California and Nevada, including its corporate banners, Bel Air Markets and Nob Hill Foods. That’s 110 stores in all, and just in time for a healthy back-to-school snack season! Corazonas Heart-Healthy Tortilla Chips are the first snack clinically proven to reduce cholesterol while keeping the taste, texture and fun in every bite.
Recognized by Prevention magazine (July 2007) and featured on Good Morning America as one of 25 “Best New Foods For You,” Corazonas Heart-Healthy Tortilla Chips are the first snack clinically proven to reduce LDL cholesterol and are created in three delectable flavors – Original, Jalapeño Jack and Salsa Picante. The healthy chips are made with whole oats and plant sterols, proven cholesterol-reducing ingredients and are all-natural and a good source of fiber.
With back-to-school approaching, there’s no way around it: kids want their chips. In fact, potato chips rank as the #2 and #3 most-consumed snack foods by boys and girls, ages 8-12 years (source: Market Research Firm – NPD Group). Corazonas are a 100 percent natural snack with no trans fat and the added benefit of whole oats and fiber, making it a salty-snack alternative that parents, coaches and teachers can feel good about giving kids.
Additionally, Corazonas Foods celebrates Cholesterol Awareness this September and is committed to promoting heart health through proper eating with party hearty recipes and regular exercise. Visit www.corazonas.com for more information about managing your heart health and cholesterol.
