Press Release Summary = At Food Ingredients South America (FISA), Fortitech South
America focused on improving and maintaining the wellness of its aging population
within that region - but in a non-traditional manner. Not showing interest in
taking mega-doses of nutrients or supplements, current trends suggest older adults
are actively looking to find exciting and more pleasurable ways of receiving their
nutrition - without sacrificing good taste or texture.


Press Release Body = Fortitech South America offered several new fortified
applications that meet this demand. To get a solid nutrient boost, attendees dipped
fresh fruit in fortified melted chocolate. This fortified confection is a
delicious, smooth and well-rounded treat, blended with more than 15 essential
vitamins and minerals. The functional profile of this chocolate includes the B
vitamins, antioxidants, calcium, folic acid, magnesium, zinc and iron, to name a
few.

Fortitech South America also had two different fortified lollipops containing
several healthy ingredients to give a nutritious boost. Our premix for the passion
fruit flavored lollipops includes immunity-enhancing vitamins and minerals including
vitamins A, C, iron and zinc. The premix for the apple flavored lollipops includes
an excellent blend of overall nutrition targeting immunity, enhanced metabolism and
increased energy. Nutrients in this application include vitamins A, C, B1, B2, B6,
B12, folic acid and pantothenic acid.

Held in São Paulo, Brazil, FISA is one of the leading trade shows for new trends,
solutions and technology for the food industry. The event is the world's fourth
largest food ingredients show and last year, more than 250 companies from 30
countries participated. The show also attracted more than 17,000 visitors in 2005.
