HJ Heinz Company presented a variety of new lifestyle-oritented products at the 2006 American Dietetic Association Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo, held in Honolulu.
 
“Consumers are more health and lifestyle conscious than ever, especially about matters of the heart. As food industry experts, it is our responsibility to help consumers meet their individual lifestyle and wellness goals with foods that are full of heart-smart attributes, like the antioxidant lycopene, and low in certain added ingredients, like sugar and salt, without sacrificing taste,” said Heinz director of global nutrition, Ida Laquatra.
