Newman's Own Organics

Great tasting products that happen to be organic is the slogan of Newman's Own Organics: The Second Generation. Headed by Paul Newman's daughter, Nell Newman the company is developing products from certified organic ingredients. All the products are packaged in a distinctive, eye-catching way and feature an amusing photo of an American Gothic "Pa" Newman and daughter Nell plus a fanciful story.

"We want to offer organic food products with wide consumer appeal," says Nell. "We feel that people want to know more about the food they eat, not just how much fat or cholesterol a product contains. How ingredients are grown and processed on the way to their grocers' shelf is becoming more important to today's consumer. Once people see how much organic foods have improved since the early days of packaged `health' foods, we hope they'll try other organic food products."

"We focus on the kinds of products we loved as kids, but take them one step further by using the highest quality of available organic ingredients. Our first product, organic pretzels, fast became the top seller in the natural food industry, and each addition to the line has been successful."
