NXT Nutritionals Now Shipping SUSTA(TM) Natural Sweetener to New England

NXT Nutritionals Holdings, Inc., announced it is shipping SUSTA(TM) Natural Sweetener, the great tasting, all-natural, healthier sweetener, in 50 Packet Boxes to New England's second largest supermarket chain, Shaw's Supermarkets, Inc., a division of SuperValu Inc., the third-largest food retailer in the nation.

President and CEO Michael McCarthy of NXT Nutritionals reported that achieving distribution in Shaw's is a major step in its national program to introduce consumers to the superiority of SUSTA(TM), a great tasting, all-natural sweetener.

West Bridgewater, MA-based Shaw's was originally established in Portland, ME, in 1860. Along with sister stores, Star Market, Shaw's employs 30,000 associates in nearly 200 stores. For more information, please visit www.shaws.com.

"The addition of Shaw's is a giant leap forward in introducing health conscious consumers to the great taste of SUSTA(TM)," McCarthy said.

Initially, NXT Nutritionals began marketing its all-natural Healthy Dairy(R) Yogurt Smoothies that are sweetened with SUSTA(TM) to Shaw's through C&S for three years. Consumer enthusiasm for Healthy Dairy(R) Yogurt Smoothies has demonstrated that SUSTA(TM) has the potential to become a major national seller; therefore NXT Nutritionals' has expanded its distribution agreement with C&S Wholesale Grocers, Keene, NH, to add its SUSTA(TM) Natural Sweetener 50 Packet Boxes.

McCarthy adds, "We look forward to C&S expanding its distribution of SUSTA(TM) into additional grocery chains that they service and we do anticipate on seeing new orders continue to come in."

C&S provides distribution services to grocery chains and independent stores, including food giants such as Pathmark, Safeway, Giant Food Stores, Shaw's, Stop and Shop, A&P Food Mart, BJ's Warehouse, Great American, SavMart/Foodmax and Demoulas. With annual sales of $19 billion, C&S was ranked by Forbes magazine as the 10th largest privately held company in the nation in 2007.

SUSTA(TM) Natural Sweetener is also being distributed through White Rose Foods as well as Wakefern Food Corp., the merchandising and distribution arm for ShopRite. Consumers also can purchase SUSTA(TM) on the web at: www.sustastore.com.

SUSTA(TM) is targeted at individuals craving sweetness but for whom sugar is either not a viable option, or is an undesirable option. At the top of this group are diabetics, individuals on weight loss programs, and those proactively managing obesity. SUSTA(TM) will be the only sweetening system in the retail marketplace that is all-natural, low glycemic, contains prebiotics (soluble fiber) and probiotics, essential vitamins and minerals, helps to maintain healthy blood sugar levels, aids digestion, and supports the immune system.
