Fizzy FruitT Launches in Plainfield New Jersey Public School District

Plainfield, NJ - March 24, 2006 - The Fizzy Fruit™ Company in cooperation with Sodexho USA, the leading provider of food and facilities management services, announced today that it will begin serving a delicious, sparkling fruit treat called Fizzy Fruit to school children at Cedarbrook Elementary School in Plainfield, New Jersey.

“We are proud to be the inaugural school to offer this product in the Plainfield Public School District,” said Eugene W. Harris, Principal of Cedarbrook School. Fizzy Fruit is fresh cut or whole fruit that is carbonated to give it a bubbly taste and appearance. A special process adds carbonation to the water that is naturally contained in fruit without altering the nutritional content of the fruit. The result is grapes, oranges, and apples that fizz in your mouth. Fizzy Fruit contains no preservatives, and no added sugar or artificial sweeteners.
