Premium organic nutrition brand for babies and kids accelerates North American sales with national grocery and e-commerce distribution in Canada, and debuts new Organic Baby Teethers and Hugga Bear Cookie Snack Packs

SAN DIEGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today Healthy Times, a premium, verified Non-GMO, organic nutrition brand for babies and kids, announced its expanded distribution in Canada nationally and online as part of the brand’s mission to widen access to healthy and nutritious food for children. Healthy Times is also launching two new products: an innovative Organic Baby Teether, the only product of its kind designed with feeding specialists, and convenient Snack Pack versions of the delicious Hugga Bear Cookies.

Healthy Times is thrilled to grow its North American presence and increase availability of its wholesome and nutritious products to meet consumer demand. Starting this month, Healthy Times will have expanded distribution at Loblaw’s, Metro Ontario, Amazon.ca and many more premium retailers in Canada throughout 2019. The complete list of retailers can be found at HealthyTimes.ca. The Healthy Times Canadian product range will include everything from the brand’s newest products like the Organic Baby Teethers and Organic Hugga Bear Cookie Snack Packs, to classic consumer favorites like the Organic Baby Cereals, Organic Arrowroot Cookies, and full-size Organic Hugga Bear Cookies.

Pioneering innovation in the category, Healthy Times is committed to designing healthier and smarter products parents can trust and feel confident feeding their children. The new Organic Baby Teether, for example, has been designed with feeding specialists to provide babies with the ultimate solution to help soothe and alleviate discomfort during their teething development. The new teether has a unique texture that soothes gums and is shaped like a finger, making it the perfect fit for little mouths and little hands to grasp. Healthy Times teethers have optimal nutritional value with pea protein and prebiotic, without added sugar or salt.

“Healthy Times is thrilled to expand in the Canadian market, as we have found a strong sustained demand from parents who are looking for organic nutrition with simple ingredients for the various stages of their child’s development,” says Kerrie Erdenberger, Vice President of Sales at Healthy Times. “As a mom of two, including a teething baby, I know how important it is to find my favorite products for my children easily accessible in my local market. We are especially excited to launch our reimagined teethers to Canadian consumers. The new Healthy Times Teethers are more nutritious than any other teether available and, with a smart and thoughtful design, fill the void for a more effective and wholesome option in the category.”
