Barbara’s Bakery Introduces Fruit & Yogurt Bars
New Whole Grain Snack Bar Line Offers More Calcium Than a Six Ounce Cup of Yogurt
PETALUMA, CA. – June 28, 2006 – Natural and organic foods pioneer Barbara’s Bakery today expands its best-selling snack bar line with the introduction of Fruit & Yogurt Bars, the first all-natural snack bars to combine real fruit fillings and creamy yogurt wrapped in a tasty pastry-like whole grain crust.
Available in Cinnamon Apple, Blueberry Apple, Cherry Apple and Strawberry Apple flavors, each 8.9 ounce bar offers more calcium than a six ounce cup of fresh yogurt and contains 8 grams of whole grains. Like all Barbara’s Bakery’s products, the new Fruit & Yogurt Bars contain no refined white sugar, artificial flavors, colors, preservatives, cholesterol, hydrogenated oils or trans fats.
“As the best-selling producer of all-natural snack bars, we are pleased to expand our line with such a delicious calcium rich product,” said Kent Spalding, Director of Marketing for Barbara’s Bakery. “With calcium deficiency continuing to capture headlines across the country, we are doing our part to help our customers meet their calcium needs without compromising taste or convenience.”
