NXT Nutritionals Holdings, Inc. ("NXT Nutritionals"), a developer and marketer of proprietary, patent-pending healthy natural sweeteners, food and beverage products, today announced that the Company will be shipping an initial order of its newest product, SUSTA(TM) Natural Sweetener 50 Packet Boxes, to Wakefern Food Corp. ("Wakefern"), the merchandising and distribution arm for ShopRite.

Over 150 ShopRite locations across Northeastern United States will soon carry NXT Nutritionals' SUSTA(TM) Natural Sweetener. SUSTA(TM) boxes contain 50 two-gram packets that can be used in coffees, teas, other beverages, cereals, and any other foods that require a sweetener.

"We are thrilled to have Wakefern as our first retail distributor of the SUSTA(TM) Natural Sweetener 50 Packet Boxes," said Michael McCarthy, President and CEO of NXT Nutritionals. "The launch of our SUSTA(TM) product in the ShopRite supermarkets will begin our footprint in the Northeastern region of the country as we begin to undertake our corporate mission to have SUSTA(TM) available in various retail stores throughout the United States."

NXT Nutritionals is currently focused on launching SUSTA(TM) into the U.S. table top sweetener market. NXT Nutritionals will focus on taking market share from the natural sweeteners segment that is less entrenched and has fewer formidable competitors. 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 and 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.

Headquartered in Keasbey, New Jersey, Wakefern is a retail cooperative that operates 2.5 million square feet of warehousing and its transportation fleet is one of the largest private fleets on the east coast. With more than 200 stores in six states, ShopRite serves more than five million customers each week. Together, Wakefern and ShopRite employ more than 50,000 people throughout New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland.
