• The founders of Arctic Zero saw the increasing number of children developing food allergies, and the increasing waistlines of Americans and wondered if there was a solution – They saw these problems manifest in there own lives with family members diagnosed with diabetes and having other weight related
health problems

– So they decided to develop a product that diabetics could enjoy and was still nutritionally sound — what better medium than ice cream! • In 2002, they developed Carbawhey, a protein-based soft serve ice cream that was diabetic friendly – As they sold Carbawhey at many yogurt shops throughout Southern California, the company received requests from consumers for a similar product that could be taken home and eaten

– As a result, in 2006, they started working on a pre-packaged pint and Arctic Zero was born • When developing Arctic Zero, they decided to address other health issues and produce a product that could be consumed by all – As opposed to Carbawhey, the company decided to develop an all natural (Splenda free) product that was also gluten free –They wanted it to be low calorie, low carb, fat free, and lactose intolerant friendly, all of which took a number of years to develop
• In 2009, Arctic Zero began to be sold through natural food, retail grocery and direct-to-consumer channels

• In Spring 2011, Arctic Zero released an 85 calorie premium chocolate dipped ice cream bar in 4 flavors

• Arctic Zero is currently sold online through Amazon as well as across 40 states through 1500+ grocery stores including Whole Foods, Sprouts, Henrys, Sunflower Markets, Bristol Farms, Publix, Safeway, Kroger/Ralphs, HEB,
Hy-vee, Food Lion and Winn-Dixie and expects to be in an additional 1,000 stores within the next several months

ORGANICVILLE ANNOUNCES ORGANIC KETCHUP AND BARBEQUE SAUCES

 

Organicville Brings a Healthy Alternative To The Condiment Aisle

Organicville Foods Inc. of Emeryville, California has introduced its newest line of USDA certified organic, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free products with no sugar added. With the agave-sweetened ketchup and two barbeque sauces to suit every taste,

Organicville’s line of healthy, socially-conscious foods is offering every customer and every family a tasty alternative for adorning every-day meals.

We LOVED the KETCHUP. Forget that “name brand” that we American’s adored (I’m as guilty as the next . . . it was very good). You have never tasted (even in a restaurant) a Ketchup so intense, complex and downright delicious. (OK. It’s good for you as well.)

Organicville’s exciting new Organic Ketchup is made with the finest vine-ripened tomatoes and organic seasonings, without any sugar added! Most brands sweeten ketchup with high-fructose corn syrup or artificial sweeteners; these synthetically processed substances dangerously impact the glycemic levels in many food favorites. Sweetened with agave nectar, Organicville’s richly flavored ketchup has the fresh, hearty taste and texture kids expect, with 25% less sodium for health-conscious parents. This ketchup will add a zesty flare to burgers, hot dogs, french fries, and more.
