Los Angeles, California (March 2003) - In response to new organic food guidelines outlined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Morinaga Nutritional Foods has developed a new formulation for the company's Mori-Nu Silken Tofu Made with Organic Soybeans. The new recipe uses evaporated soymilk as its base, resulting in a very firm texture and improved taste. To date, the company is able to make only one "firmness" with the new formula. Therefore, Mori-Nu Silken Tofu Made with Organic Soybeans is now available in Firm texture only. The product will be appearing on store shelves beginning this month in a new package design that includes a color photo and recipe for Fresh Spinach Lasagna. Morinaga Nutritional Foods continues to make all varieties of its silken tofu with only non genetically modified (non-GMO) soybeans. The formulas for the other five Mori-Nu Tofu varieties (Soft, Firm, Extra Firm, Lite Firm, and Lite Extra Firm) will remain unchanged. However, the company will introduce new package designs for these five Mori-Nu Silken Tofu SKU's later this spring, beginning in May 2003. The new package designs will feature fresh, updated color schemes, full-color recipe photos, new recipes, and directions to more recipes on the company's website at www.morinu.com. Morinaga Nutritional Foods, Inc. of Torrance, California offers all-natural and gourmet style soy-based foods including Silken Tofu and Creamy Soy Soups in convenient, long shelf-life packaging.
