Charlottetown, PE, Canada (PRWEB) August 18, 2010

Island Abbey Foods Ltd., specialty honey manufacturer, today officially announced the launch of their newest honey innovation, Honibe™ – Honey Lozenges™ – Nature’s Cough Drop™. Honibe™ – Honey Lozenges™ are the world’s first 100% pure honey cough drops for soothing sore throats and relieving coughs. 

Honibe™ – Honey Lozenges™ are made from 100% pure dried honey from Prince Edward Island. They are available in four flavours: Pure Honey, Honey with Lemon, Honey with Menthol and Eucalyptus, and Honey with Lemon, Menthol and Eucalyptus. Honibe™ - Honey Lozenges™ can be purchased in packages of 10 or 20 pieces. Honibe™ - Honey Lozenges™ are conveniently sized for easy transport in pockets, cars, briefcases or purses. Honibe™ - Honey Lozenges™ will be available across North America everywhere that natural upper respiratory therapy products are sold.

“Traditional upper respiratory therapy products like lozenges and cough drops are all sugar based and are nothing more than boiled sugar candies with added health ingredients,” stated John Rowe, President of Island Abbey Foods Ltd. “Our Honibe™ - Honey Lozenges™ are a 100% pure dried honey lozenge with no sugar added. We are excited to offer consumers our one of a kind all natural cough drop to sooth sore throats and provide cough relief.“

The Honibe™ brand has garnered international attention in recent months for the product the Honey Drop™. The Honey Drop™ was the first product launched under the Honibe™ brand and is an individual serving (one teaspoon / 5 g.) of 100% pure dried honey without any additives. It is ideal for sweetening tea or coffee. Simply drop into a hot beverage and stir. You have all of the natural honey flavour without the usual honey mess. Most recently, the Honey Drop™ won two SIAL D’or 2010 Awards at the world’s largest food tradeshow in Paris, France and will now be one of nine finalists competing for best new food product in the world this October.
