“The momentum of our core natural and organic brands continued through the third quarter with our entire team driving strong sales and effective cost control,” said Irwin D.

We are excited about the market opportunity given the expansion of supernatural, natural and conventional stores, increasing consumer awareness of our products, and the new government food pyramid, which recommends healthier food choices.”
