Have You Been StarKist(TM)? Now's Your Chance at http://www.StarKist.com... New Site Offers Delicious Recipes, Rate-A-Recipe Features, Promotional Information and Much More
PITTSBURGH, Aug. 18 -- Log on, pucker up and get ready to be 'Kist! StarKist Co., a leading producer, distributor and marketer of seafood products in the United States, announced today the launch of its dynamic new website, http://www.StarKist.com. With mouthwatering recipes like the StarKist Farmhouse Salad and Sweet & Spicy Lettuce Wraps, the site features more than 80 delicious meal solutions to help consumers easily incorporate more healthy tuna products into their everyday lives.
The new website comes after the recent launch of the "Have You Been StarKist?" campaign. Representing a play on words, and bridging the connection between the "fish-kiss" and seafood, Have You Been StarKist? aims to engage today's consumers with innovative ways to enjoy the best that seafood has to offer. The launch of the new and improved http://www.StarKist.com is just another way StarKist is sharing the love, as well as new ways to use StarKist products in appetizers, entrees, salads, sandwiches and soups.
"Getting 'Kist is all about discovering the taste and health benefits of incorporating StarKist Tuna into your everyday life," said Jennifer Albert, Director of Marketing, StarKist Co. "With a variety of recipes for any meal occasion, beautiful recipe photography, helpful recipe tips and nutrition information, we know that http://www.StarKist.com will become a valuable resource for today's busy consumers."

According to Albert, the site features delicious, easy to prepare and good for you meal solutions -- everything from Albacore Pesto Panini, a perfect weekend lunch, to Mediterranean Tuna Pizza, a delectable dish that will draw the whole family to the dinner table. In addition, many of the recipes were developed by StarKist's registered dietitian to encourage more families to incorporate healthy tuna products, which are an excellent source of protein and heart-healthy Omega 3 fatty acids, into their cooking repertoire.

Developed by IBM Interactive, the new StarKist website will feature:
-- Innovative, New Design: A unique, fluid visitor experience,
cutting-edge technology and world-class usability with a focus on

-- Socializing with Friends: The ability to upload recipes with product
links, share recipe with friends, rate StarKist recipes and provide
comments or additional suggestions on recipes; and,
