Monday October 17, 2:33 pm ET


NAPLES, Fla., Oct. 17, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Food Innovations, Inc. (FII), wholly-owned subsidiary of Innovative Food Holdings, Inc. (Other OTC:IVFH.PK - News), announces unaudited profit before taxes of over $70,000 for the months of August and September 2005 combined.
Strong sales, combined with aggressive cost-cutting and pricing strategies, led to the record profits. FII's sales in September were also positively impacted by increased marketing support from US Foodservice, subsidiary of Dutch grocer Royal Ahold (NYSE:AHO - News). According to FII's CEO and President Jonathan D. Steckler, FII forecasts fourth quarter sales of $1.7 million, or a 30% increase from the fourth quarter of 2004, and profit before taxes of approximately $150,000 for the quarter.

IVFH holding company expenses have historically run approximately $40,000 per month, which are not included in the above figures.

Chef Joe DiMaggio, Jr., CEO of IVFH, added, ``We are pleased that our business model has begun to prove itself. I couldn't be more proud of the way the Food Innovations team has worked together to turn the corner to profitability.''
