CINCINNATI, OH and PITTSBURGH, PA--(Marketwire - September 25, 2007) - R Super Foods today
introduced to the Cincinnati market its nutritionally enriched Super
Donuts® and Super Buns®. The frozen doughnuts and cinnamon rolls,
which are available exclusively at Kroger's stores throughout the
Cincinnati area, will be sold initially in special edition boxes featuring
Cincinnati Bengals safety Madieu Williams with a collector series card
inside. A select number of packages will contain cards autographed by
Williams.
Through its Wheaties-like approach, R Super Foods, which is owned by former
Pittsburgh Steelers running back, Franco Harris, recognizes athletes who
contribute to their communities through ongoing community service and
charitable efforts. R Super Foods has partnered with Williams and the
Madieu Williams Foundation for the company's Cincinnati launch. Portions of
the revenues generated from boxes of Super Donuts and Super Buns sold in
the Cincinnati area will benefit the Madieu Williams Foundation, which
focuses on teaching youth about health, wellness, nutrition, fitness and
education. Pittsburgh Steelers Hines Ward, Penn State head football coach
Joe Paterno, and Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Jack Wilson have been
featured on packages of Super Donuts and Super Buns sold in the Pittsburgh
area.
"Who would have thought that a Steeler and a Bengal could agree on
anything," commented Williams. "Fortunately, Franco and I do agree on
helping kids, and this partnership will provide a great way to help raise
funds that will go directly toward helping youth in the Cincinnati area. I
appreciate the opportunity to work with Franco and R Super Foods to
introduce Super Donuts and Super Buns into Cincinnati, and to help raise
awareness among Cincinnati's youth on the importance of health, nutrition
and fitness."
"Madieu is the type of person that truly wants to make a difference in his
community, and is the type of person that we wanted to recognize and
partner with as we introduced Super Donuts and Super Buns to Cincinnati,"
said Harris. "Like Madieu's foundation, health and nutrition are the
foundation of R Super Foods and our products. We are often asked, 'How is a
donut or cinnamon roll nutritious?' The secret is in the ingredients. Our
donuts and Super Rolls are flavorful, satisfying pastries that provide 14
essential vitamins and minerals, plus four grams of protein. They are
better for you, and are a healthy alternative to many of the fattening,
sugar-saturated products that are marketed to our kids as breakfast foods."
The frozen donuts and cinnamon rolls contain no preservatives, trans fats,
or artificial flavors or colors, and are made with NutriDough®, R Super
Foods' proprietary bakery fortifier that includes protein; antioxidant
Vitamins A, C, and E; B vitamins; folic acid; and calcium. Super Donuts and
Super Buns are sold in boxes of six individually wrapped units with a
suggested retail price of $2.99 per box.
