CJ Bibigo™ Debuts Whole Grain Potstickers

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CJ Foods, Korea's number one producer of delicious, frozen foods, today announced the launch of its CJ Bibigo™ Fully Cooked Whole Grain Potstickers. Offering a healthy twist on classic Asian potstickers, these versatile snacks are made with 17 grams of whole grains and 4 grams of fiber. To celebrate the new innovation and commemorate September as National Whole Grains Month, the company will launch the "17 Days of Whole Grains Challenge" — a contest that encourages Bibigo fans to opt for Whole Grain Potstickers as a way to boost their intake and help meet the recommended daily allowance of three servings (48 grams) of whole grains a day, according to the U.S. Dietary Guidelines. Participants will be entered to win weekly prizes of the new Whole Grain Potstickers, and one grand-prize winner will be given a $500 gift card to stock their kitchen with healthy food.

"We created CJ Bibigo Whole Grain Potstickers to offer a healthier alternative to the traditional potsticker. Packed with 17 grams of whole grains, and featuring a thinner wrapper and savory fillings, the BBQ Flavored Chicken and Chicken & Vegetable Potsticker varieties are a great addition to our existing frozen line," says Elliot Chung, senior brand manager for CJ Bibigo. "Our '17 Days of Whole Grains Challenge' is a fun way for consumers to share their passion for healthy eating, while incorporating more grains into their diet in a flavorful way."

Bursting with a delicate, nutty flavor from whole grains, these satisfying bites are available in two delicious varieties that can be boiled, pan-fried for a crispy finish, or easily microwaved. As with all Bibigo products, the potstickers contain no MSG, preservatives or Trans-fat.

• BBQ Flavored Chicken (chicken, vegetables, Korean BBQ sauce)

The "17 Days of Whole Grains Challenge" will run from Sept. 5-27. Participants can post recipes, pictures or share stories on the CJ Foods Facebook page to enter.
