FURMANO'S TOMATO PRODUCTS NOW MADE WITH 100% NATURAL LOWER SODIUM SEA SALT

All Furmano's tomato products will now use lower sodium Sea Salt to make its products healthier for consumers, while keeping the same great taste.

We frequently hear that Americans consume too much salt, but we don't want to eliminate salt since it makes our food taste so good. Furmano's recently took up the challenge to keep its tomato products tasting great, while reducing the amount of sodium per serving. We are pleased to announce that all Furmano's tomato products will now use lower sodium Sea Salt to make its products healthier for consumers, while keeping the same great taste you've always known at the same price.

Furmano's is using a lower sodium sea salt that is 100% natural and has been able to lower the sodium content of the products by at least 50%. As an example 28 oz. Furmano's Diced Tomatoes contained 270mg of sodium per serving when made with regular table salt. Sodium is reduced to 125mg when made with lower sodium sea salt - while keeping the same great taste. Additionally, 100% natural sea salt also contains the minerals potassium and magnesium which you won't find in regular table salt.

To support the new tomato product line made with sea salt, the Furmano's Corporate Chef has created "Healthy For You" recipes that are great for the whole family to enjoy. Contact Lori Merman, Furmano's Marketing Manager, for copies of the recipes, nutritional information and hi-resolution photographs.
