BUTLER, N.J., Oct. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- World Gourmet Marketing, LLC, a New Jersey-based food manufacturer, today announced their successful exhibitor participation and honor of being a food finalist in the New Product Awards at the Natural Products Expo East trade show in Baltimore, Maryland held September 27-29, 2007.

According to New Hope Natural Media, a division of Penton Media, Inc., producer of the show, Natural Products Expo East is the largest natural and organic products trade and conference show on the East Coast and this year had more than 25,000 attendees.

As an exhibitor in the New Products Pavilion, World Gourmet had the opportunity to display their new Sensible Portions Multi Grain Crisps and Pita Chips in the New Products Showcase and enter their best-selling Cheddar Multi Grain Crisps into the New Products Awards Competition. World Gourmet was proudly named as one of five finalists chosen by thousands of retailers as best new product in the food category at the show.

Jason Cohen, President of World Gourmet, said, "Being selected as a finalist further demonstrates the need for good-for-you snacks in the health- conscious community and the value of Sensible Portions in that arena. Eating sensibly is a lifestyle and we are very excited about all the accolades our brand is getting."

Additionally, after many months of investment spending on state-of-the-art equipment and building improvements, World Gourmet completed renovations to its new facility making it one of the premier pellet snack manufacturing plants in the country located right in "snack alley," Pennsylvania.

"We now have one of the most dynamic facilities for producing proprietary healthy snacks for our Sensible Portions brand, as well as our private-label customers," said Jerry Bello, CEO of World Gourmet.

The plant's increased manufacturing capabilities allow World Gourmet to produce more great-tasting snacks such as all-natural caramel corn, popcorn, and veggie crisps using air puff, flash-fried, and baked pellet technologies and give them a strategic position in the fastest-growing segment of the food manufacturing industry, healthy snacks.
