C o n v e n i e n c e R e t a i l e r S h o w D a i l y 4 1 S u n d a y, O c t o b e r 1 3 , 2 0 1 3 HAPPY FAMILY BRANDS: KIDS' FAVORITES AND MOM-APPROVED Happy Times Veggie Pals and Sunny Buddies pouches are healthy and tasty alternatives to traditional grab 'n go snacks like chips and candy. Certified organic and made from 100 percent all- natural ingredients, these handy snack packs are perfect for kids' lunchboxes. Like all of its products, organic Veggie Pals and Sunny Buddies contain no synthetic preservatives and nothing artifi- cial: no food coloring or flavors, no chem- ical pesticides and fertilizers, no GMOs. Gummies Without the Gunk Every Veggie Pals pouch contains one full serving of pure organic fruit – carrot, orange and apple – and no added sugar unlike the gummy candy now on the market. Allergy friendly Just about everyone who walks into your stores can eat Veggie Pals because they are gluten-free and dairy-free, two of the fastest growing categories of food. Today, up to 25 percent of consumers buy gluten- free products without an allergy diagnosis, and some 69 percent are trying GF prod- ucts. According to Progressive Grocer (March, 2012), gluten-free is a $6 billion market. Why not get your share of it? Each Veggie Pal pouch has just 70 calories – 0 calories from fat – and only 16 grams of carbohydrates compared to 120 calories – 25 from fat - and 21 grams of carbs in a bag of baked potato chips. A Nut-Free Snack That Tastes Like PB&J Sunny Buddies' secret ingredient is sunflower but- ter combined with mixed berry jam in a whole grain wrap. Made from sunflower seeds, sun- butter is high in vitamin E and other vita- mins and minerals, and is a rich source of healthy unsaturated fats. Happy Family's mixed berry jam includes nutrient-rich elderberries that have been consumed for hundreds of years, tra- ditionally used for their healing properties. The elderberry's high vitamin C content can be credited for its health promotion. Each organic Sunny Buddies pouch contains 115mg of Omega 3 vitamins. Sunny Buddies are a yummy 90 calorie snack that is nut-free, dairy-free and soy-free. They are allowed in all peanut-free schools. Add it all up and you have yummy snacks that kids and moms love – perfect for lunchboxes, in the car and at after-school activities. Happy Family is one of the fastest growing U.S. food company for the last two years, according to Inc. Magazine, and one of Fast Company's Rockstars of the New Economy. Happy Family was chosen as R&D Team of the Year 2011, according to Food Processing Magazine.
