NXT Nutritionals Launches SUSTA™ Natural Sweetener, Through White Rose Food, Which Distributes to 1,800 Stores from Maryland to Connecticut

HOLYOKE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As the first step in its campaign to bring SUSTA™ to major food retailers throughout the United States, NXT Nutritionals Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:NXTH), developer and marketer of SUSTA™ Natural Sweetener, the great tasting, all-natural, healthier sweetener, and SUSTA™-based food and beverage products, said it is beginning to ship SUSTA™ Natural Sweetener 50 Packet Boxes to New York City’s largest independent wholesaler and distributor, White Rose Food, which wholesales food to 1,800 food retailers from Maryland to Connecticut.

“as it has been proven by their enthusiastic reception of our all-natural Healthy Dairy® Yogurt smoothies that are sweetened with SUSTA™. Now they will be able to use SUSTA™ to sweeten their tea, cereal and other foods--just as they would use sugar.”

Among the major New York City retailers that White Rose serves are: Gristedes, FoodTown, King Kullen, Kings, Met Food, Pioneer Supermarkets and Associated Supermarkets.

President and CEO Michael McCarthy of NXT Nutritionals reported that the national introduction campaign plans to focus on educating consumers about SUSTA™’s superiority to other sweeteners because it is all-natural, better tasting and healthier. Unlike other sweeteners, SUSTA™ contains probiotics, prebiotics, vitamins C, B6 and B12 as well as essential minerals that support the immune system and aid digestion.

“Consumers have been looking for the great taste of SUSTA™,” McCarthy said, “as it has been proven by their enthusiastic reception of our all-natural Healthy Dairy® Yogurt smoothies that are sweetened with SUSTA™. Now they will be able to use SUSTA™ to sweeten their tea, cereal and other foods--just as they would use sugar.”

“White Rose Food’s commanding footprint in the New York City and New Jersey metropolitan areas, which in turn is the largest retail food market in the United States, makes it an essential partner in our consumer outreach introduction,” said McCarthy. White Rose Food currently distributes NXT Nutritionals’ Healthy Dairy® Yogurt smoothies.

“With White Rose joining the SUSTA™ bandwagon,” said McCarthy, “we are now established in the nation’s largest retail market. From here we plan to launch the SUSTA™ product through White Rose’s distribution network to undertake our corporate mission to have SUSTA™ available in retail stores throughout the United States.”
