Press Release Summary: LABELWATCH.com is free for everyone to use, and by simply
registering on the site, users can also create customized shopping lists made up of
the best brand-name products for themselves, and their families.

Press Release Body: Oakland, CA, August 12, 2008 -- Consumers finally have a way to
decipher the complex list of additives and ingredients found on every food label in
the grocery store.

LABELWATCH.com (www.labelwatch.com) is the first and only informational website that
allows consumers to go beyond the fancy package, and actually understand what\'s
really inside. With a growing database of over 25,000 brand-name products,
LABELWATCH.com allows users to compare their favorite foods by providing information
and determinations about the additives, ingredients, and nutritional facts contained
in each product.

On the site, ingredients are linked to the LABELWATCH.com proprietary ingredient
glossary, which is uniquely color-coded for easy understanding. The ingredient
glossary was created using information supplied by many reputable sources,
including: The National Institutes of Health, Agency for Toxic Substances & Disease
Registry, Food & Drug Administration, and Foods Standards Agency UK, among many
others. Products that contain no \"cautionary\" ingredients (as defined by the
glossary) are awarded the LABELWATCH Smart Ingredients Seal, a distinguished seal of
product excellence.

When company founder Diane Manning was asked why she started LABELWATCH, she
replied, \"For years I suffered with a chronic condition known as Irritable Bowel
Syndrome (IBS.) Doctors and medications failed, but eliminating a few foods and
additives from my diet completely solved the problem. As a result I became an avid
reader of packaged food labels. This was time-consuming, confusing and often
misleading. I looked for an easier solution, but none existed. That\'s when the idea
for LABELWATCH was conceived.\"

When asked who will benefit from the LABELWATCH.com offering, Ms. Manning responded,
\"Anyone interested in what they\'re putting in their (or their loved-one’s) body —
pregnant women, health-conscious mothers, and of course anyone with some type of
food allergy, autoimmune disease, or any kind of health concern. In fact we\'ve had a
huge outpouring of support from the health & wellness community. Dietitians,
physicians, fitness trainers and non-profit health organizations all see LABELWATCH
as a critical tool they can incorporate into their professional practice.\"

LABELWATCH.com is free for everyone to use, and by simply registering on the site,
users can also create customized shopping lists made up of the best brand-name
products for themselves, and their families. The site also contains a Smart Shopping
section that offers information about reading labels and food shopping, an in-depth
database of Smart Recipe cards and videos, and information about Smart Living as it
applies to dieting, beauty, fitness, and natural health.
