Kitchen Basics Teams with the Nurses of NEOCS to Make a Heart Healthy Announcement at the Fabulous Food Show in Cleveland, Ohio

CLEVELAND--(Business Wire)--
Kitchen Basics Inc., the originator of cooking stocks in America, revolutionized
the soup aisle in the 1990s when it was the first to bring ready-to-use cooking
stocks to grocery store shelves. Now, with the help of Northeast Ohio
Cardiovascular Specialists (NEOCS), Kitchen Basics makes a major heart healthy
announcement at the Fabulous Food Show at the IX Center in Cleveland, Ohio on
November 13th-15th, 2009.

Just in time for soup season and holiday meal planning, Kitchen Basics announces
that original chicken and beef and unsalted chicken and beef varieties are now
certified by the American Heart Association to meet their food criteria for
saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium for healthy people over age 2.

High blood pressure and hypertension are major risk factors for heart disease,
stroke and kidney failure. To help educate consumers on the importance of these
factors, the heart nurses of NEOCS will be providing FREE Blood Pressure
Screenings at the Fabulous Food Show in Kitchen Basics Booth 348!

"What better place than in our own backyard, and in the company of the
FoodNetwork Celebrity Chefs, to announce the heart healthy certification of our
chicken and beef stocks. This is where it all began 14 years ago," stated Amy
Byers, Manager of Marketing Services.

"Kitchen Basics gives people options in the pantry that they haven`t had
before," says Paulette Weber, RN LD/N. "For my patients who are on restricted
diets, it`s especially important that their food tastes good so they stay
encouraged to cook and stick to their nutritional plans. Cooking with Kitchen
Basics cooking stocks adds flavor without the unnecessary sodium and can be used
as a substitution for commercial broths, water, butter or milk in many recipes."

Kitchen Basics cooking stocks can be found on grocery and natural food store
shelves nationally. Look for the heart-check mark on Kitchen Basics chicken and
beef varieties.
