Gedney is an SQF-3/GFSI, AIB, Union Orthodox Kosher and MOSA organic-certified factory that produces a full line of organic and clean- label pickles, including a new line of fla- vored pickles. The company's technical expertise in product and process develop- ment takes new products from inception to market in less time than the industry average. The company is especially passionate about making the best tasting and crunchiest pick- les in the industry. Gedney uses a proprietary production process which allows its products to retain an incredible snap of crispiness and pre- serves the delicate flavors. This process is not found in other shelf stable brands that use a less sophisticated production process. The shelf life of the product is two to four years. Trever Knoflick, Senior Vice President Sales & Marketing, says the company has come to the show to connect with similarly minded retailers who are looking for a trusted company to provide organic and clean-label pickled products. He adds that they are proud to have created enduring rela- tionships with retail partners while supplying consistent quality at reasonable prices. The company is launching three innovative lines of pick- led products: Gedney Farm Fresh Organics, Gedney Black Label and Del Monte Black Label. Farm Fresh is a full line of organic pickles and rel- ish with a beautifully designed clear label showcasing the product. Gedney and Del Monte Black Label are snack lines of fla- vored pickles and relish. The Jalapeño Lime pickles are kosher, garlic dill pickles with a bite of jalapeño and a hint of lime. The Ghost Pepper pickles are made with real ghost peppers with the catchphrase, "try it if you dare!" Gedney works with tradi- tional, natural food and spe- cialty stores that are looking for clean label products that taste amazing and will not break their customers' budgets. By offering mainstream pricing for upscale specialty products, Gedney products offer unique and bold flavors for today's foodie craze. They add the "zing" to meals and snacks.

Apricot Power Celebrating 19 Years Apricot Power has been selling B17 and B17-related products for over 19 years. The company has made it its mission to help get B17 "back into every body." Its wholefood products, SuperFood Mix, seed caps and ex- clusive AP skin care line are products it in- novated to support that mission. ApriSweet Dark Chocolate Bars The 2.5-ounce, B17-enhanced ApriSweet Dark Chocolate bars are infused with up to 10 finely ground, bitter, raw California- grown apricot seeds. Each bar has up to 14 mg of B17 per piece. Thanks to an ingenious and exclusive food profile, the taste is rich and the texture is smooth, but without any bitterness from the seeds. ApriSweet Dark Chocolate is made using 60 percent smooth dark cacao. The company uses only 100 percent certified organic, fair- trade cacao beans. There's no need to worry about allergens in the bar because it does not contain dairy, soy, gluten or nuts. Instead of sugar, Apricot Power uses organic Stevia so ApriSweet is completely safe for diabetics and those on Keto diets. Plus, it has net zero digestible fat calories. Best of all, ApriSweet Dark Chocolate is the only chocolate in the world with B17. It is sold individually or in a 10-pack display box. World's Only B17-Infused, Anti-Aging AP Skin Care Line The 3-step anti-aging skin care line includes skin cream, foaming cleanser and toner. Apricot Power added four more products to make it a more complete skin care line: Sun- block, Face Scrub, Lip Scrub, and Lip and Cheek Rescue. The exclusive AP line is handmade using organic, natural and wild-harvested ingredi- ents. Each product works nicely on its own or synergistically as a complete anti-aging skin care solution. The AP skin care line is the only skin care line in the world that's infused with the power of B17. Apricot Seeds and More The latest innovation from Apricot Power to "get B17 back into every body" is its Apricot Seed Meal. Made from its own bitter, raw, California-grown apricot seeds, this conven- ient product is ready to add to your favorite beverages, smoothies, baked goods and other food items. Available in a sealed 6.5-ounce deli-style container with a measuring scoop. Over a Year of Research Over the past year or so, Apricot Power has researched the many me- dicinal benefits of cannabidiol (CBD). It sought out partners who it thought could help the company create and de- liver a line of CBD prod- ucts that it could believe in and proudly support. Apricot Power is pleased to announce that it has finally found that partner: Natural Serum CBD. Apricot Power will be offering Natural Serum CBD products through CBD17, a subsidiary of Apricot Power. A separate www.cbd17.com website has been set up to support the products. For more information, visit booth #3838 and learn about Apricot Power's show special.

Ex-Dairy Elmhurst 1925 Opening More Plant-Based Doors By Nicholas Budniewski, Senior Copywriter, Elmhurst Milked, LLC Nearly a century ago, Elmhurst Dairy was bottling milk by hand and delivering it to Queens and Brooklyn neighborhoods in an ice truck. Change is inevitable, sure, but who could have foreseen this? Elmhurst is now a leading plant milk company and based on the other side of New York State. But we still keep a bit of 1925 in our hearts (and our name). Elmhurst 1925™ plant-based beverages are about simplicity. This is why our entire product line has six or fewer ingredients. It's the reason we've used a peerless method – HydroRelease™ – to create a rich, creamy plant milk, completely free of gums, stabi- lizers and other unnecessary additives. This authenticity shows itself in nut milks with up to four times the nuts of leading competitors, and whole grain milks with 20g per serving. Elmhurst is a vegan, non-GMO, soy-free, dairy-free lifestyle solution – from cooking to coffee, and beyond. We are bringing to Natural Products Expo East a widened panorama of products, cap- turing the best of what plant-based nutrition is – and can become. In addition to our ex- isting nine, we're adding two additional unsweetened nut milks: cashew and walnut. Like their hazelnut and almond counterparts, these wonderfully minimalistic offerings have just two ingre- dients and plenty of authentic nutrition. The other two introduc- tions are especially energiz- ing – quite literally. Our barista line brings the coffee house expe- rience home. We are leading with our five- ingredient Oat Barista Edition. Perfect for foaming or flavoring, it's a lush start to any day. Partner it with your daily journal or newspaper, and find vigor and relax- ation in each sip. We will also debut our protein line, starting with an irresistible chocolate peanut. Each 12-ounce single-serve carton features 20 grams of natural protein. Our product achieves this with just six ingre- dients, a fraction of most other plant- based options. It's another case of superior technology – as only Elmhurst can do it – yielding a simpler and better result. We're ready to change this category, one yoga workout and morning run at a time. It has been a remarkable jour- ney – from our prehistory as a New York dairy to our rebirth as a plant-milk company in 2017. And again, from our first four nut milk products to today's entry into entirely new applications. One thing we do promise: that all of this advancement and moving for- ward won't distract us from what we are. It will only enhance Elmhurst's promise to be part of a better life. And by this, we mean a simpler, better life. For more information, visit booth #1236, go to www.elmhurstmilked.com or email marketing@elmhurstmilked.com.
