Grand Isle, VT - February 20, 2010 - We are pleased to announce the re-branding and official launch of TANABAR. TANABAR is a line of all natural peanut free and tree nut free granola bars made by Vermont Nut Free in our own facility.

TANABAR is made from the finest ingredients in a completely nut free environment, TANABAR is the perfect healthy snack for individuals living with tree nut or peanut allergies.

Available in three flavors, Sweet Raisin, Triple Berry and Chocolate Chip, TANABARs will be available in boxes of 12 at select retailers and offered via the company's online store either by the single bar or in boxes of 12. Granola bar lovers everywhere will enjoy TANABAR's chewy texture and all-natural flavors. Along with the launch of TANABAR, Vermont Nut Free is also introducing updated packaging for this product with a new look that reflects the company's Vermont heritage.
"As the mother of a child with peanut allergies, I know first-hand the struggle of finding healthy, nut-free snacks that are also kid-friendly," said Gail Elvidge, president of Vermont Nut Free Chocolates. "We are thrilled to introduce TANABAR as an alternative snack for people with nut and peanut allergies, as well as for health-conscious individuals who want an energy boost from a treat that tastes great."

Safe from cross-contamination concerns that often arise with similar, mass-produced products, parents of children with nut allergies can be confident in the nut-free guarantee on this healthy snack. The perfect post-workout or afternoon snack for adults, TANABARs are now available at select retailers and via the company's web site at http://www.vermontnutfree.com.

TANABAR is inspired by the founders' son Tanner. Tanner has a life threatening peanut allergy and he was the inspiration for starting Vermont Nut Free back in 1998. It is only fitting that this new line of products be named after Tanner.

TANABAR is all natural, has 7 grams of protein per bar, is low in sodium and is a good source of fiber. They taste great and, best of all, they are 100% peanut and tree nut free!
