For Immediate Release


Salad Dressings Rich in Omega 3... New and Improved From Hempola.

Barrie, Ontario, Canada.
Immediately following the successful completion of its organic
certification, Hempola Inc. has re-launched its award winning salad
dressings with special emphasis on the unique and very healthy Omega 3
content.

A great amount of attention has been paid to Omega 3 essential fatty acids
and their performance as functional food and nutraceuticals. Studies reveal
health benefits from Omega 3s relating to heart disease, weight loss and
stroke. Now family doctors may prescribe a test to determine levels of Omega
3 in human blood (refer to
www.mdsdx.com/MDS_Diagnostic_Services/News/MDSNews11270301.asp for more
details).

"Hempola oil is the perfect ingredient for Omega 3 products like salad
dressings," states Kelly Smith, head of product development at Hempola,
"it's a very rich source of Omega 3, it has a delightful flavor and most
importantly, with all its naturally occurring anti-oxidants, it is the only
Omega 3 oil which stays fresh and healthy for many, many months."

With so much emphasis now on eliminating trans-fatty acids and searching for
healthy alternatives when it comes to fats and oils, Hempola has the answer
to liven up salads in a very healthy way. Flavors include: Honey Dijon,
Balsamic Vinaigrette and Caesar.

Hempola Inc., with its brand name HEMPOLA(tm) develops, manufactures and
markets hemp seed and hemp seed oil products through national distributors
throughout Canada and the U.S. Hempola hemp seed derivative products include
functional food, vitamins and supplements, personal care, bulk ingredients
and industrial. Product and company information may be obtained by visiting
www.hempola.com or by calling 1-800-240-9215.
