Kinnikinnick Foods, North America’s leading manufacturer of gluten free baked goods and snacks, now offers white and multigrain breads and buns with a new soft bread formulation. They offer more bread per package, better nutritional values, a lower price point ($4.59-$.4.99), and vibrant new packaging. While many gluten free breads are dense and less than palatable, Kinnikinnick’s new soft bread is baked fresh and quick frozen, so it’s soft and moist once thawed––no toaster required! The result of nearly a year of research and development, Kinnikinnick’s new soft bread formulations were developed to offer consumers the most appealing combination of taste and texture currently available in the gluten free bread category. In addition to being gluten free, Kinnikinnick’s new soft bread is also dairy free; nut free; and certified OU Kosher, making it ideal for those with special dietary needs. The breads are made with no artificial preservatives, colors, or flavors; are fortified with five essential nutrients; contain at least five grams of fiber per serving; have no cholesterol and lower calories, making them some of the most nutritionally-sound gluten free breads on the market today.

For most people, glass bottles are the preferred choice of a drink container for better taste, cleanliness and fewer health risks...But the challenge with glass has always been its durability and the risk of shattering. Until now. PURE Glass Bottle is a new portable reusable glass drinking bottle that allows people to enjoy that pure taste of their favorite beverage in glass without worrying about spills or injury resulting from broken glass. SafeShell technology is used to apply a clear protective coating to the outside of the glass bottle. If the glass does break, the coating encapsulates all the glass and liquid preventing messes and injuries from the breakage. The exterior of the bottle remains smooth to the touch so it can be disposed of or recycled safely and easily. The bottles are 100% recyclable and BPA free. The coating is also slip resistant, making it easier to handle than other re-usable glass bottles. Shatter-resistant and much tougher to break than standard glass. The wide mouth design of the PURE Glass Bottle makes it easy to add ice, protein powder, water flavoring or any beverage. Available in 17.5 oz Traveler and 25 oz Explorer, with a selection of convenient tops and handles ($19.95, www.PUREGlassBottle.com) Great bottles, super-easy cleaning!
