So it’s no surprise that more than 50 retail products including their sausage, bacon, ham, Canadian bacon and liver sausage are made completely from gluten-free ingredients. In fact, Jones sausage holds a unique position within the breakfast sausage market: it’s made from only all-natural ingredients...pork, salt and spices. The company knows that consumers do not want their breakfast sausage filled with MSG, chemical additives and allergens so Jones long ago resolved to never use them.

Organic Pure Bar – It Kinda Does Grow on Trees!
Simple foods “from the earth” are becoming ever-more-popular these days as people seek more natural, clean and healthy foods to put in their bodies. Organic Pure Bar is a wonderful new product to tie in with that trend as it is “a delightful, simple, real food you can feel good about eating”. Pure Bars are organic, raw, vegan, and best of all, gluten-free! Veronica Bosgraaf developed organic Pure Bar for her 6 year-old vegetarian daughter as a nutritious “treat” to take to school. Ironically, as friends and family began eating Pure Bars too, popularity of the bars soared and retailers began calling to stock Pure Bars on their shelves. Veronica says, “As the incidence of Celiac Disease continues to rise, I am pleased to offer a gluten-free product that’s designed to deliver powerful nutrition at the same time. While I was committed to avoiding all the bad stuff from the beginning (refined sugars, preservatives, and gluten), I was also determined to include lots of good stuff (Omega-3s from the walnuts, plus antioxidants and fiber from the fruit). I am so pleased to have created Pure Bar as a more nutritious option than many other convenience foods we reach for on the run. And, best of all, people can feel proud to eat Pure Bar, because “It Kinda Does Grow on Trees!” Pure Bars are available in 6 delicious flavors and are great as a treat in the afternoon, a breakfast on the run, or a pre-workout pick-me-up. Pure Bars can be found at all Trader Joe’s, and select Whole Foods stores, nationally. For other locations carrying Pure Bars nearest you, please visit www.thepurebar.com.
