NEW YORK, Nov. 18, 2011



NEW YORK, Nov. 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Fresh Harvest Products, Inc. (OTCQB: FRHV), a natural and organic products company, announced the debut by its AC LaRocco brand of several gluten-free pizzas and pizza related products, as well as updated packaging and new formulations. Highlights of AC LaRocco's product offerings included a multi-pack, gluten-free crusts for our cheese and veggie blend frozen pizzas and a new lactose free frozen pizza formulation.



"I believe that innovation is an important part of our culture and one of our unique characteristics as a company. With these new products, AC LaRocco is keeping with our focus and intent to continually deliver the healthiest pizza on the planet with lower sodium, fat and cholesterol, and higher in fiber," said Michael J. Friedman, President and CEO. He continued, "By entering the gluten-free market, we believe that we are filling a gap in the gluten free category, which is one of the fastest growing segments of the food industry."

According to estimates in a Packaged Facts report, "Gluten-Free Foods and Beverages in the U.S., 3rd Edition," the U.S. market for gluten-free foods and beverages hit $2.6 billion in 2010, for a compound annual growth rate of 30% over the 2006-2010 period. The report estimates that U.S. sales of gluten-free foods and beverages are projected to exceed $5 billion by 2015.

There are numerous trade reports that list the gluten-free diet among the top industry developments for the coming year(s) including The National Restaurant Association's annual "What's Hot" Top 20 Trends for 2010 and 2011, and Restaurants & Institutions '20 Menu Trends' for 2011.
