New Product Launch for US Highland/CRUZANI
ChocaWafr™ Snack Food Gets Distribution Partner
ATLANTA, Aug. 09, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- US Highland/CRUZANI (OTC:UHLN) (www.CRUZANI.com), a franchise development company that builds and acquires franchise concepts, as well as other related businesses throughout the United States and International markets, is launching its proprietary new snack food, the mini ChocaWafr™ in alliance with long-established independent food-brand broker CNSB Foods of Toronto (www.CNSB.ca). The firms will cut through red tape to gain grocery store listings because CNSB already has food products on the shelves of top North American supermarket chains.
The alliance follows the recent announcement by US Highland/CRUZANI of its food manufacturing acquisition, now called Oventa Foods (www.OventaFoods.com). The acquisition transferred to UHLN shareholders an extensive portfolio of proprietary food products and projects. The ChocaWafr™ project is now ready for launch. The decision by CNSB to lead the launch of ChocaWafr™ follows excellent reviews of ChocaWafr™ from industry leaders in pre-market testing. The launch of ChocaWafr™ reflects US Highland/CRUZANI’s determination to ramp up growth fast by leveraging its new asset base and operational platform. US Highland/CRUZANI services a $100 Billion snack food sector, within a multi-trillion-dollar food sector. Its Oventa Foods subsidiary has appropriate management experience, enabling US Highland/CRUZANI to be effective immediately.
ChocaWafr™ is a new chocolate-based bite-sized cookie crisp that was specially designed for prior approval by trendsetters in the QSR field (Quick Service Restaurant). They evaluated the merits of ChocaWafr™ performance in taste, nutrition, production quality and value. ChocaWafr™ received exceptional reviews. The snack will be marketed on the premise of “Miniature Size, Maximum Taste. All with Crispy Goodness”.
ChocaWafr™ responds to a trend in the snack industry of expanding the diversity of consumer experiences through variations of classic themes. In the chocolate chip cookie category, expansion from chewy texture to crisp has been ascendant.
Despite ChocaWafr™ having “premium product” characteristics, CRUZANI and CNSB’s targeted launch will include price-conscious mass market outlets also, such as dollar-store environments, because of Oventa Foods’ cost-efficient food manufacturing capacity. This enables US Highland/CRUZANI to be competitive at all price points and in all quality tiers. The number of suitable potential grocery and other outlets for ChocaWafr™ in America exceeds 100,000 locations.
ChocaWafr™ see-through packaging design supports ChocaWafr™ supplemental placement as an affordable impulse item at contact points in QSR coffee and donut chains, truck stops and vending markets to saturate its potential distribution footprint, without sacrificing quality.
Oventa Foods president Mario Parravano commented, “It’s not just a new cookie – it’s a next generation bite-sized experience! The product is fun, but designing it was a serious technical challenge. We managed to meet tough specifications set by our discussion partners, including Chuck Cundari of CNSB, whose requirements included gluten-free without any taste compromise. We’ve achieved stringent control over a lot of product characteristics and packaging details. We’re especially proud of the fact that the nutritional profile of ChocaWafr™ is positive despite being a snack, and the ChocaWafr™ ingredient profile has more natural goodness than you’d expect from a super-value product. We are off to a good start.”
Everett Dickson, US Highland (CRUZANI) CEO added, “I’m happy to see sales development taking shape so soon after our Atlanta planning session. Our Oventa Foods team is really a treasure. Together, we are focused on building the value of the company for UHLN shareholders. Our profile in the industry is going to grow fast now. We have a lot going for us.”
In March 2018, US Highland also announced that it had acquired 100% of a health-conscious, restaurant concept. The brand is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia and is currently planning to expand across the Southeast. The chain will offer consumers a healthy, diverse menu made with fresh organic ingredients every day. The wide menu ranges from flatbread sandwiches to bowls, wraps, salads and fresh proteins such as chicken, turkey, steak and falafel. All entrees are also available in pre-packaged “meal plans,” for take-out.

My pleaseure. It was bound to be found sooner or later!
I imagine that this info should come out with a PR today or tomorrow.
I'm a bit confused with all the email addresses that are released for Everett. They never match lol.
Please show me where on this site it mentions that the website was now up and running.
This is not something that should be treated like a PR. Everett mentioned a while back that this was in the works. Happy to see past statements come to fruition. First Oventa, now Cruzani.
AND a great looking new logo.
MUST be a terrible thing all this moving forward.....
As always. Thank the man above for the ignore button.
NEW WEBSITE!!!
www.CRUZANI.com now live!
Message from Everett Dickson:
Hello Friends – A few thoughts about CRUZANI and you!
I am delighted to introduce CRUZANI.com to its wide range of existing and future stakeholders. Thank you for visiting.
As a public company quoted at OTC Markets under the trading symbol UHLN, CRUZANI has many shareholders. It is a pleasure to report to you that CRUZANI has rapidly transitioned from vision to reality. Much has happened operationally in the last several months. These developments will be reported in our SEC filings in great detail. We have moved beyond being a development stage company. We are now a fully operating, multi-faceted and active corporation. We now have substantial assets, valuable business interests, staff and strategic alliances.
We are also a resource for you if you are a food sector entrepreneur. Our vision to enhance private company valuation by transferring assets into the public realm, where valuations are more realistic and supportive of greater growth is now a reality. We have launched project initiatives and have very good relationships to share for the benefit of all. If you have cool food products and services that should be moving up the ladder to public company stature, please say hello; let’s talk.
If you are a member of the general public, then you too are a stakeholder in CRUZANI in a different way. CRUZANI is bringing new resources to food innovators so that they can reach out and become a part of America’s food services landscape from coast-to-coast, and beyond. If you think we should contact a local food operation that you admire, please let us know! You may be the catalyst for great things to come. It may even be rewarding for you personally.
Whoever you are, and wherever you live, you probably love good food. This is a bond that unites people around the world. This bond is the positive business basis on which CRUZANI contributes well-being for us all.
Bon Appetite and best wishes,
Everett M. Dickson, CRUZANI CEO
only 20 sold in the last hour and a half???
Is this still paused?
So, judging by the way they do not use US Highland anymore, I gather that the name change has been officially recognized by FINRA now?
This is the first time I've seen them release something fully by Cruzani Inc. Was the ticker approved yet?
Nor would that be listed in a PR.
Wait for the Quarterly.
One of my favorite lines -
"Adjustments to Oventa’s product offerings to emphasize high-speed products and/or high-value products can both double the $25 Million dollar value of its existing capacity."
Not 100% sure why the PPS is so low, but it's a good time to buy waiting for the Q2 to come out.
Any speak to Richard lately?
This is exactly the news we need. Why would the company release a car for sale without the infrastructue in place to provide the added benefit. Create the battery swapping stations, then provide the cars.
The huge benefit is that they are recognizing all types of cars and not just the ones they are affiliated with.
It's also incredible that they anticipate the cost of building them to be paid back within 3 years, which means they will be turning pure profit in 3 years time...
Funny you mention that... I did see two cats outside.
Pest control :)
UPDATE - ALL NEW PHOTOS OF SUPREME SWEETS IN TORONTO
Sorry about the teaser photo before... still trying to figure out the proper way to upload photos....
As I mentioned a few months ago, I live in Toronto and tried to set up a meeting at Supreme Sweets for a tour of the facility. Unfortunately they responded (fairly quickly might I add) that they do not offer tours as it is a food service production line and for health reasons, they could not conduct tours. That sparked curiosity as to what the facility looks like, as the images on Google Satellite are from 2016. I wanted to see what it looked like currently. I thought I would share my findings with you all. These were taken this week, so all is up to date. Some of the photos might surprise you.
Here we go with the front of the building - notice the "For Sale" sign
The Left side of the building leading into the back lot of the facility
The Front Door of the building
Peaking through the window of the front door towards reception. Notice the Supreme Sweets Banner above the desk, as well as the Timothy's Cafe sign. This confirms their current partnership with the company
Peaking in the bottom windows at the front of the building to a front room. This looked like a mechanical room, potentially for building new machines or fixing parts. There was no factory line here, and the room was not too deep, but rant the length of the building
Moving to the back of the building, in the satellite images, this is what appears to be rubber tires/junk. You can see old commercial ovens in this photo...
Looking further into the back lot. Obviously Mario's car part company is bigger than we anticipated. Lots of old parts/old cars. You can also find LOTS of commecial kitchen items scattered among the lot.
Another view from Evans Avenue of the back lot. This space is listed as 1.98 Acres... look how much space we have in the back lot. All those semi trailers lining the space
A different view of the loading dock area where the broken/old ovens are located
What I found positive was that there are kitchen food containers scattered everywhere. These are not old, and show that there are current baking productions in this facility. Mmm... banana!
Larger image of above
Remember the sports cars we saw in the Google Photos? Here they are at the front of the building, among semi trailers and vans.
I did a drive around their neighbors and got a glimpse of the back lot from a different vantage point. Look at all the kitchen cooling racks above... this must have been fairly large scale.
I didn't initially realise the actual size of the lot, but when driving around the back, I noticed this sign, "Confectionally Yours" which was Mario's wife's company way back when.
The overgrown for sale sign on Evan's Avenue highlighting the property
And finally, the greatest piece here.... I walked around this van and noticed a file sitting on the front seat that read "Extra: Keep in Van". Without doing anything illegal, I looked to see if this was an old van, or something they currently use. The top papers in the see through file had a delivery schedule dated for today which also indicated about 8 locations for delivery. Many of them were Timothy's coffee shops. This means they are still in business and making local delivery's at least. Maybe production isn't in the size that semi's would need to deliver, but at least they are getting the product out. Great news for us!
And there you have it folks. My little bit of DD sleuthing. I know it might look like a junk yard, but if Mario bought this place to house both his businesses, then we cannot really judge. The windows around the building are high, but I did see what looked to be the outline of a large Fridge system. The place obviously could use a bit of love and care, and hopefully with ULHN acquiring this, we can see a bit of a change. I'm just a bit concerned that Everett has not mentioned anything about the building being for sale, and/or the "for sale" sign coming down. I would like him to mention this directly. The listing price for the building is $8 Million, and I do not believe we have that in our coffers to purchase the land/building. So where does that leave us? Did we just buy the internal asssets and the rights to the company, or did we actually purchase the land and physical building as well???
Time will tell. Let me know what you think of the photos.
How much did you expect?
That is the silliest post I have seen.
Depends where it is listed, but PRs usually cost about $50 to release.
They do not pay for them with shares. Don't be silly.
NEW PHOTOS OF SUPREME SWEETS LOCATION
*Coming soon*
I visited the warehouse yesterday after hours and snapped a few photos.
Give me a bit of time to get them loaded, and I will make the post for your viewing pleasure. Hoping to have these out today.
ATLANTA, July 26, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- US Highland/CRUZANI (OTC:UHLN), a Business development company that builds and acquires franchise concepts, as well as other related businesses, throughout the United States and International markets, has gained more than physical product assets in its June 29th acquisition of Supreme Sweets; CRUZANI’s new proprietary portfolio of snack foods and baked goods is enormous and diverse. The combination of CRUZANI’s new production capacity, new product range and a receptive national account base is the basis of CRUZANI’s next phase $25 Million business plan.
The prepared snack food sector in which CRUZANI has become immediately qualified to participate is growing faster than many sectors in the economy and is now estimated to exceed $100 Billion annually or $325 Million per day. Currently, 94% of US consumers “snack” daily, with half of those consumers snacking more than once per day. The convenience and impulse factors are so strong that snacking is replacing traditional meals for a growing segment of the population. CRUZANI’s new portfolio of products addresses not only the sweet and salty snacks that are currently popular, but also the growing desire for healthy snack options.
Energy and nutrition bars are particularly strong in overall market growth forecasts for the industry and are at the heart of CRUZANI Supreme division’s past product development successes. However, the breadth of CRUZANI’s range delivers significant wider opportunities. Virtually every category of popular baked and otherwise prepared and packaged pleasure foods have been accreted into the CRUZANI asset portfolio. Formulations, manufacturing capacity and know-how to supply top quality, value-oriented products are now in place for CRUZANI. The range is wide; donuts, danishes, cookies, muffins, cakes, bread, pies, tarts, bagels, crackers, brownies and more provide the basis for CRUZANI business growth by supplying supermarkets, big box stores, airline foodservice, QSR (Quick Service Restaurants), vending machine service operators, convenience stores and the broader hospitality industry.
CRUZANI Supreme division has in the past, and is still continuing, to receive product design requests from retailers and food service providers who are seeking new solutions to address consumer experimentation. CRUZANI Supreme is currently engaged in new product development under both private label arrangements and its own branding. Recently completed independent taste and quality testing is yielding new product launch plans that will be announced soon.
Everett Dickson, US Highland (CRUZANI) CEO commented, “We’ve made huge progress, fast. In Q2 we’ve acquired impressive production capacity, a portfolio of food products to serve a rapidly growing sector and a team to implement CRUZANI expansion. Now already in Q3, new business developments enabled through these assets will be announced. We are on track to creating a food-based corporate success that our investors will be able to see in operation by way of products on the shelves of stores that they recognize and in food service operations that they respect.”
Mario Parravano, CRUZANI Supreme head of production adds: “I am looking forward to being able to announce new customer projects. We are under confidentiality arrangements. The quality and range of our new projects and customers is first-class. ”
In March, 2018, US Highland also announced that it had acquired 100% of a health-conscious, restaurant concept, which will offer consumers a healthy diverse menu made with fresh organic ingredients every day. The brand is also headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia and is currently planning to expand across the Southeast.

LOL. It's never good enough for some people....
Would you rather they just continue doing things behind the scene silently???
We finally have a company putting information out and filling in the shareholders as to what is going on.
It is GREAT news that they are now moving on with TRUFood after getting everything in place with SS.
That was NEW news.... No scam in sight.
That does not mean the deal went through though does it?
Correct me if I am wrong, but there was a LOI given for Charlie Graingers acquisition wasn't there.... Look how good that turned out.
Show me proof that the Transaction with MC went ahead.... oh wait....
Are you able to share where you are finding this list? I was searching and was not able to locate it.... thinking it might be in Chinese rather than an english accessible version.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks Jet!
As far as I have been informed, Everett bought out this concept from Sal Rincione in the CG times....
Sal let me know it was just a concept, and that there have not been any franchises sold, let alone an official platform established. (I believe I still have the private message tweets to back this up)
The site is pretty straight forward, with a general menu offering. Hopefully they spruce up the product so it is actually franchisable.
There is nothing unique on the menu online.... still in infant stages in my opinion.
I would like to see how much he bough the business for.
TrueFood is not an actual brand or Franchise at the moment.
It is a concept franchise.
Show me the company profile for these 23 locations... they do not exist/
Let's let the first deal close before pushing for an additional acquisition....
Name change and ticker change has not happened yet via Finra.

ZHONG JI MING YANG CHINA is real. Looking at the Chinese government registration for the entity proves it is.
The entity JBZY acquired - JB&ZJMY CO. LTD. CHINA, is open to interpretation and specualtion... no proof of any Chinese entity being acquired by JBZY.
Logical reasoning allows the assumption that JB&ZJMY CO. LTD. CHINA is ZHONG JI MING YANG.
There is no officical proof to what entity JB&ZJMY CO LTD is
For those that think the product doesn't exist...
Keep Em!
Well then, carry on.
See you on the other side.
Show me where that can be proven...
We are waiting on the approval by the ministry there. That does not mean the company is not in existance.
You give up too quick. I've been here over a year, experienced the RS, and am still just as confident as before.
It's only a loss if you sell... The fat lady has not sung yet.
I'm sure someone will buy your shares :)
In it to win it!
Electric four-wheeler that is good - what are the national policies?
Views: 193 Source: Unknown Date: 2018-07-13
Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of the Environment and other ministries have conducted research on micro-electric four-wheelers, and the unified micro-electric vehicle management measures are expected to be introduced.
Policy is still in the gray area of 2015 years, the miniature electric four-wheel vehicle sales continued the rapid growth in the previous two years. The data shows that the output of low-speed electric vehicles exceeded 700,000 in 2015 . The growth rate of micro electric vehicles of more than 50% per year has already proved its strong market demand in the third and fourth line markets. Among the current domestically produced independent automobile brands, the micro electric vehicle market is not rare.
In the “base camp” of electric four-wheelers in Shandong Province, only one prefecture-level city in Texas, the annual output of electric four-wheelers exceeds 100,000 units. The low-speed electric vehicle manufacturing industry and supporting industries directly contribute more than 5 billion yuan of GDP to Dezhou . . Statistics show that 2014 Shandong micro-electric car production 18.7 million, compared with 2013 in 12.1 increase ten thousand 54.55% ; 2015 Nian 1-10 month of cumulative production of 25.80 million, an increase of 53.82% . Wei Xueqin, secretary general of the Shandong Automobile Industry Association, said that by 2020 , the annual output of micro electric vehicles in Shandong Province will exceed 1 million.
The national low-speed electric vehicles are mainly distributed in Shandong, Hebei, Henan and other provinces. Hubei, Sichuan, Hunan, Anhui, Jiangxi, Shanxi and other provinces are also rising with the development of the market. Experts predict that micro or small electric vehicles will be the main development trend of plug-in hybrid vehicles in the future. Considering the cost performance of batteries, " by 2020 , small pure electric vehicles with a cruising range of about 300 kilometers should be the mainstream . " Not only that, according to the newly released Ipsos industry report, it is estimated that China's micro-electric vehicle ownership will reach 5 million in 2020 , and the vehicle sales scale will exceed 50 billion yuan.
Faced with this huge industry, Yang Yusheng, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, has been calling for the legal status of micro electric vehicles. It is understood that Premier Ma Kai of the State Council has already issued instructions on the development of micro electric vehicles, which should be incorporated into normal motor vehicle management. It is expected that after releasing a small number of products through high standards, other electric four-wheelers will be included in the new motorcycle management category.
Obviously, this is a positive signal, which is good news for electric four-wheelers and dealers. But what about two rounds and three rounds?
It can be seen that in today's life, electric four-wheelers have gradually entered the people's society, and now they have occupied a great position, so it is very important to see the brand. For a long time, Xinggong specializes in producing electric four-wheelers, professional Technical staff.

Anyone have the address of the production facilities?
Essentially all they need to do is file all the necessary past financials right? What else does it take to get reinstated to the Pinks?
I think you are correct. When I saw it this morning (pre change), I think it only said he owned about 5%.
Now it is updated with 16%.
Think that was the only change looking at it now.

What was the amendment?
Supreme Sweets has been in operation since 2015, not 30 years.
Mario and his wife have been in the industry for 30 year... there is a difference.
You can buy edibles right now... with a pot perscription.
I'm sure that edibles will also be available with the launch of the pot stores in Canada. I don't think it will be as long as a year. But that is besides the point. This is about SS and not pot. There is not connection. Period.
I'm not saying that it will not be legal. I live in Canada. I'm very aware of what is going on.
What I'm implying is that SS would have to go through a huge application to get access to marijuana, which would also mean the facility would have to be fully secure, having a negotiated permit for commercial grade cannabis. That is not the type of business we are in. Companies will not be able to just jump on the pot bandwagon and have the ability to start selling edibles upon legalization. It's recreational use, within a limit, that is being legalized.... not a free sell of the drug.
