The New Jersey Restaurant Association Supports VitaminSpice to Increase the Nutritional Benefits of Menus for Customers
WAYNE, Pa., Nov. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- VitaminSpice (OTCBB: VTMS) (www.vitaminspice.net) is pleased to announce that it has decided to become a major supporter of The New Jersey Restaurant Educational Foundation (NJREF.org), the educational arm of The New Jersey Restaurant Association (NJRA.org) to enhance the food services industry's knowledge of ingredients on the market today that will increase the nutritional benefits of menu items that are served to customers. VitaminSpice has also joined as an official Allied Member of the New Jersey Restaurant Association (NJRA).
Established in 1942, the NJRA has become an essential ingredient for successful and professional restaurants in New Jersey through its representation and education of the Garden State's 25,000 eating and drinking establishments generating $13 billion in annual sales and employing over 300,000 people, making it the State's largest private sector employer. Eating and drinking establishments, vendors, non-profits, schools and students are eligible for membership. The New Jersey Restaurant Educational Foundation (NJREF) is the 501(c) 3 educational arm of the NJRA. The goal of the NJREF is to inspire youth to choose the industry as a career, to enhance the skills of our workforce, to promote the industry as a respected profession and to provide tools and professional development programs to owners and operators in order to foster a vibrant and thriving industry.
"The NJREF looks to provide cutting edge products, information, training and services to the food services industry's businesses," commented Deborah Dowdell, President, New Jersey Restaurant Association. "VitaminSpice has a unique product line that can help member restaurants and other food service providers increase the nutritional benefits of the menu items served to their customers," stated Edward Bukstel, CEO, VitaminSpice. The NJRA has long supported that fresh, local, menu options be available for students and the general public throughout the Garden State. Accordingly, VitaminSpice will also be participating in educational initiatives and special programs sponsored by the NJREF including the Statewide ProStart Competition. VitaminSpice has also contributed to a Silver Plate Scholarship Award that will be given to a New Jersey High School student in May of 2012.
"We are excited about the relationship with NJREF! It is a natural fit for customers that want to put cinnamon on French toast, or Garlic on Pizza and Pasta, while increasing the nutritional benefit for customers. We look forward to working with the NJREF to provide information and collateral materials that will support its $13 billion industry throughout The State of New Jersey. This firmly places New Jersey as leading the nation in promoting healthy menu options in restaurants," stated Bukstel.
