HOUSTON May 24, 2002 –

Labrada Nutrition, a Houston-based leader in sports and fitness nutrition, was recently given the "Best in Class" award for its Carb Watchers™ Texas Pecan Pie Bar by Nutros.com.

The new Texas Pecan Pie Bar, introduced in December of 2001, has already broken every record at Labrada and is the most successful bar ever in Labrada history (as of May 2002).

The Nutros.com "Best in Class" supplement award is based on a select group of principles, which include scientific support, overall value, safety, and consumer feedback.

These meal replacement bars are not only safe and scientifically sound with proven benefits, but the Texas Pecan Pie Bar is one that has been emphatically embraced by consumers, and it tastes great to!" says Mike Barrowman, Nutros.com vice president of marketing.

Labrada is a trusted brand because it independently lab tests each shipment of product for quality and purity. Labrada uses the highest quality proteins and ingredients to formulate its product line. Each bar contains a low glycemic index level and measures 30 grams of high quality protein and only 1 gram of sugar.

"The Texas Pecan Pie Bar continues to be one of my favorites and our most successful flavor, voted by consumers. It is a great honor for Labrada to be awarded ‘Best in Class’," says Lee Labrada, president and CEO of Labrada Nutrition.
