New World Natural Foods Joins the CarrotLines App

Jan. 24, 2012 - PRLog -- New World Natural Foods, an organic and natural foods company founded by the Bagga brothers, joins CarrotLines. Rattan Bagga was recently featured in PROFIT Magazine as a FuEL 2011 Award Winner.

The partnership will allow New World Natural Foods to be scanned with the CarrotLines App – giving customers the ultimate tool to get informed about their products.

As seen on BNN’s App Central, CarrotLines is Canada’s leading iPhone application that helps Canadians make healthier choices faster. Shoppers set a personalized dietary profile and simply scan the food barcode to find out whether products meet their nutritional, allergy, and lifestyle needs.

This comes in time as more people are becoming aware of what ingredients are in the food they eat and are making healthier choices than ever before. As a result, New World Natural Foods’ products are increasingly becoming available at natural food markets and department stores such as London Drugs.

New World Natural Foods is committed to making deliciously healthy and everyday food items that promote the long-term health of consumers. This means no irradiation, coloring, chemicals or genetically engineered ingredients. Their products are certified organic, vegetarian, and manufactured in a kosher facility. The CarrotLines App will further increase the reach of New World Natural products to the growing segment of mobile health conscious shoppers and help educate users on their health and eco-friendly attributes.

Deloitte reports that 51% of people use their smartphones to obtain product information and 40% of smartphone users scan barcodes , with everyday grocery items as the number one item shoppers scan . CarrotLines’ technology works seamlessly with the existing UPC barcode, removing the need to re-package and making product updates quick and easy.

Rajinder Bagga, Founder of New World Natural Foods, says: "Since New World Natural Foods is a company committed to producing healthy foods, we are thrilled about the partnership with Carrotlines, Canada’s leading iPhone application that helps Canadians make healthier choices. It’s a perfect match.”

New World Natural Foods joins a suite of healthy Canadian CarrotLines partners including Martin’s Marvelous, Sunrise Soya Foods, and Cookin’ Greens. The CarrotLines application has a growing Canadian database of over 20,000 foods and 2,000 brands, and was one of the top 10 most downloaded Health & Fitness apps in the Canadian iTunes App Store (2011).

Dorren Lee, Marketing Specialist at PortaLife Solutions Inc., the company that develops CarrotLines, says: “With New World Natural Foods in our app, users will be better equipped to find companies such as New World Foods that does not only make deliciously healthy foods, but also understands consumers’ needs and wants in terms of taste, nutritional and sustainable values. We are very happy to have New World Natural Foods on board!”

On January 28 and 29th, CarrotLines will sponsor the upcoming 21st Annual Victoria Health Show, where it will feature some of its local health brands, including New World Natural Foods, alongside its app.
