Grocery Headquarters selected Tribe Mediterranean Foods' All Natural Hummus as a 2006 Selling Wellness Trailblazer. The award is given to companies and their products that are making an impact in the health and wellness industries. Tribe will be recognized as a future leader in the Product Reformulation category and will be featured in Grocery Headquarters' December 2006 issue.

"We are thrilled and honored that Grocery Headquarters has selected Tribe All Natural Hummus as a Selling Wellness Trailblazer," said Rick Schaffer, VP of Sales & Marketing for Tribe Mediterranean Foods. "Our hummus is the industry's first nationally distributed All-Natural hummus and gives both retailers and consumers a high-quality alternative to competitors that continued to produce with preservatives. The Selling Wellness Trailblazer Award is a reflection of today's consumer product demands and validates the direction we're heading with our products."

Tribe's All Natural hummus products are preservative-free, non-dairy, certified Kosher and contain no saturated fats, cholesterol or hydrogenated oils. All Tribe hummus has an industry-leading 120-day shelf life and undergoes the most stringent quality assurance procedures in the industry.

Tribe distributes nationally to retailers, wholesalers and foodservice establishments throughout the U. S. and Canada. The company recently began distributing in Mexico, with the introduction of its new Spanish/English bi-lingual label. Tribe's All Natural Hummus suggested MSRP for an 8 ounce container is between $2.59 - 2.99 per unit. A 16-ounce package suggested retail ranges from $4.49 - $4.89.
