Kitchen crafted with great tasting organic ingredients like almonds, dark chocolate chunks and delicious fruit such as deep red cherries, Clif Bar & Company announced today the launch of CLIF MOJO Fruit & Nut and CLIF MOJO Dark Chocolate in Canada.
Thoughtfully made with at least 70 percent organic ingredients, CLIF MOJO Fruit & Nut and CLIF MOJO Dark Chocolate deliver a nutritious, convenient and gluten-free snack bar that supports today's on-the-go lifestyle.
"As a growing number of Canadians are considering foods made with organic ingredients a healthy and more nutritious choice, CLIF MOJO Fruit & Nut and CLIF MOJO Dark Chocolate provide a tasty and wholesome snack bar that's good for you and the planet," said Kevin Cleary, chief executive officer of Clif Bar & Company.

Canadians see the benefit of nutritious, organic food. A comprehensive 2013 study by the Canada Organic Trade Association revealed strong support for organic foods with 58 percent of all Canadians purchasing organic foods weekly. The national survey also found that over half of the population feel that organic farming is better for a healthy environment; and nearly half of all Canadians consider organic foods a healthier, more nutritious choice.
To date, Clif Bar & Company has purchased more than 425 million pounds - or the equivalent of 192 million kilograms - of organic ingredients, demonstrating the company's commitment to sourcing organic ingredients for its bars and to sustainability. Like all food from Clif Bar & Company, CLIF MOJO Fruit & Nut and CLIF MOJO Dark Chocolate have zero grams trans-fat and no partially-hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors or synthetic preservatives.
