USANA Health Science Inc.'s (NASDAQ: USNA) Nutrimeal' drink mix is the first meal replacement product in the Australian market to carry the coveted Glycemic Index (GI) Symbol. The GI Symbol Program is a public health initiative run by Glycemic Index Limited, which provides consumers with a credible signpost to healthier food choices using the internationally recognized benefits of GI and sound nutrition.

A 2005 consumer study conducted by A C Nielsen revealed that 86 percent of the Australian public is aware of the important role of the GI in proper nutrition and weight management and 57 percent of shoppers there use the GI Symbol as an incentive to switch brands. USANA is pleased to provide many products that live up to some of the highest standards in the world. Nutrimeal is just one of these products. It is an ideal, balanced nutritional drink mix that is a quality source of protein, low-glycemic carbohydrates, dietary fiber and many micronutrients. As a product approved to carry the GI Symbol, USANA's Nutrimeal met specific nutritional criteria and had its GI measured using the program's approved method.
