LivBar Storms Expo West 2020 as "Hot Product"
The first week of March, LivBar will be highlighted at the largest food industry event of the year, Expo West, as a "hot product" by SPINS, "Sustainable Exhibitor" by New Hope Network, and a featured product at an invitation-only reception held for Oregon companies.
ANAHEIM, Calif., Feb. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- This week, 86,000 food industry professionals will swarm to Anaheim, California, for, what Forbes called, "the grocery industry's single biggest — and by far most important — show in North America." Expo West, an event by the New Hope Network is the "world's largest natural, organic and healthy products event." More than 3,600 food manufacturers, distributors, and suppliers will represent 580,000 square feet of exhibits over the four-day event.
Prior to the show, LivBar was announced as an "Expo West Hot Product" by SPINS, the natural food industry's leading data experts.
LivBar has also been recognized as a "Sustainable Exhibitor" by the New Hope Network, receiving a spotlight in the show. LivBar continues to be recognized for the bar industry's only home compostable packaging - the highest level of compostability.
"All the accolades are amazing, but what I'm happiest about is the growing health trend - that people are becoming their own health's heroes and choose all organic, real food alternatives," said Jan Johanson, founder, and nutritionist.
"We've been to other shows this year and it's an interesting dynamic - people love the branding, the packaging, and the compostable wrapper, but they are skeptical it's going to be a different bar experience. We get it, most of the bars come from a handful of co-packing facilities and on the main, they do taste the same. But we hand-make and bake our own bars, and once the customer takes the first bite, their faces light up and blossoms into a smile. 'You're right, they really are different and amazing' is the common refrain," said CEO, Wade Brooks. "It makes you appreciate the amazing product Jan developed and proud to be helping people make healthy and delicious choices."
The LivBar booth, #2482, will be in Hall C at the Anaheim Convention Center, Thursday, March 5th, through Saturday, March 7th.
