Innovative Food Holdings, Inc.'s (OTCBB: IVFH) wholly owned subsidiary, For The Gourmet Inc., announced today that it has begun selling its unique line of gourmet foods on Amazon.com. This is one of several new consumer related initiatives planned by For The Gourmet Inc., to extend, to the consumer, its array of gourmet products which were previously available only through foodservice channels to professional chefs.

The CEO of For The Gourmet, Mr. Sam Klepfish, commented, "The creation of our own unique 'For The Gourmet' branded storefront on Amazon.com provides heightened visibility of the company and its products. We believe that this will be one of several channels including our own website and other online offerings, through which we will offer our line of high quality gourmet products and superior customer service. Given the size of the retail market and what we believe are the uniqueness of our product and service offerings, we are truly excited to enter the retail market. We look forward to working to continue expanding that market for the company."

According to a National Association of the Specialty Food Trade report, the specialty food industry (of which gourmet food is a growing part) generated $48 billion in sales at the retail level in 2008, an 8.4% increase over 2007. In addition, the size of the specialty food sales on the retail level was four times larger then the specialty food market for foodservice. According to the same report, specialty foodservice sales in the United States totaled $12 billion in 2008.
