PHOENIX, April 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- For the second
consecutive year, Boulder Canyon Authentic Foods has been named a
recipient of Prevention's Cleanest Packaged Food Awards.
This year, the brand's Ancient Grains Sea Salt snack chips
received praise for its use of seven old-school grains, nutty
flavor and boost of fiber.
The annual awards feature the best, healthiest, and cleanest
boxed and bagged foods, with winning products meeting strict
criteria, including:
- Must not contain GMO ingredients
- Contain no more than 10 grams of added sugar
- Have less than 200 mg of sodium per serving (or 400 mg for
meals)
- All foods had to be absolutely delicious
"The Boulder Canyon brand was founded on the notion that
clean-eating and real food ingredients do, in fact, taste better
than processed foods," said Steve
Sklar, senior vice president and general manager for
Inventure Foods, Inc. "To be part of Prevention's distinguished
Cleanest Packaged Foods Awards for the second straight year
provides proof of that concept and we're thrilled by the
honor."
Ancient Grains blends together quinoa, millet, chia,
amaranth, brown rice, brown teff and sorghum to create a
cracker-like chip that is thin, yet hearty. The chips are lightly
seasoned with just a touch of sea salt so they are naturally low in
sodium. In addition, they are cooked in better-for-you sunflower
and safflower oils that are low in saturated fats and high in
monounsaturated fats. The suggested retail price is $3.49 - $3.99 per 5.5-ounce bag.
Boulder Canyon's Ancient Grains are a source of 10 whole
grains and feature zero trans fats, no cholesterol and just one
gram of saturated fat. In addition, each serving provides two grams
of fiber and protein as well as boosts of calcium and iron. The
chips are certified gluten-free, Kosher certified and contain no
genetically modified organisms (Non-GMO).

Award winners can be found in the March issue of Prevention
