July 12, 2007 (Baltimore, MD) –Joe Corbi’s one of the nation’s largest food fundraising companies is aware of the health concerns regarding trans fats. To this end, we will be transitioning to zero gram trans fat cookie this September. Zero trans fat Cookie Dough will give our customers new alternatives this Fundraising Season that better address the health benefits at the center of consumer concerns.

We appreciate that the Grandma Corbi’s® dough we make, are held to the highest standards by consumers and the general public. We are committed to providing our customers with a line of quality products that can be part of a balanced diet and meet the varying taste and nutritional requirements of the consumer.

For several decades, it was thought that partially hydrogenated oils – sometimes referred to as trans fat – were a healthier food choice compared with saturated fats. In recent years, data has emerged suggesting that, in fact, trans fats are not a healthier choice than saturated fats. So that consumers can make an informed choice, the trans fat content and nutritional profile of each variety are clearly listed on both the cookie dough packaging and the Grandma Corbi’s order form.

We are actively engaged in R&D to determine the most viable long-term solution for reducing and/or eliminating trans fats in our foods. The challenge is to achieve this without unnecessarily increasing saturated fats and without compromising the quality, taste, or the freshness of our Cookies. It is important to take this cautious approach to addressing the trans fat issue in order to protect the high quality of our products and their indulgent position in the marketplace.

Joe Corbi’s products consumed in a balanced way, with their limited availability through the year, continue to make it an indulgent treat consumers can enjoy as part of a healthy and nutritious lifestyle. We will continue to communicate to you our progress and any coming news on this front.
