Prevention Magazine Names Boulder Canyon™ Ancient Grains Winner Of 2015 Cleanest Packaged Food Awards

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).
