FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., May 10, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Natural Harmony Foods, Inc. (Pink Sheets:NHYF), a producer and marketer of unique, natural protein foods, began trading this week on the Pink Sheets under the symbol NHYF.
With its popular SoyLean(r) brand, Natural Harmony Foods marries the taste and nutrition of beef, chicken and fish with the health benefits of soy. The company's trial products, SoyLean(r) Flame Broiled Beef Patties and SoyLean(r) Fully Cooked Beef Crumbles, are 97% fat-free, high protein blends of lean ground beef and heart-healthy soy protein. They were introduced in 2002 in Southern Florida Publix supermarkets, where they were marketed in the fresh meat case and were the first meat products ever to gain U.S. government approval to include the "heart healthy" claim on their labeling.
For full commercial production, Natural Harmony intends to launch a line of four products in the freezer case, so that its foods may have a longer shelf life, by mid-2004. These will include the company's signature SoyLean(r) Flame Broiled Beef Patties alongside three new patty products, SoyLean(r) Breakfast Sausage, SoyLean(r) Chicken Patties, and a fourth item currently in development.
"Natural Harmony strives to provide consumers with great tasting, soy protein food choices produced in harmony with nature, and through our SoyLean(r) brand, we believe we are successfully addressing the needs of a large, yet largely ignored, health-conscious consumer population," said Sam Dewar, Natural Harmony's CEO and food industry veteran. "Becoming a public entity should expedite time to market for our full product line, as well as help us secure agreements with a variety of supermarket and health food chains, many of which already have expressed interest in carrying our products."
All SoyLean(r) brand products are:
-- Low fat: 3 grams or less per serving
-- Low calorie: 80 calories or less per serving
-- Low cholesterol: 20 mg or less per serving
-- Low carb: 0-3 grams carbohydrates per serving (for Atkins or
South Beach dieters)
-- High protein
