Girl Guides of Canada introduces reduced trans-fat cookies!

    TORONTO, Nov. 24 /CNW/ - Girl Guides of Canada-Guides du Canada (GGC) is
excited to introduce a new reduced trans fat cookie. Our classic chocolate and
vanilla cookies, now with 90 per cent less trans fat, will be available in the
spring of 2009. And to make sure no one misses out on these tasty treats,
girls will be taking orders starting December 8, 2008.
    GGC has been working closely with our Girl Guide cookie baker, Dare
Foods, to reduce the trans fat content in our classic chocolate and vanilla
cookies, while maintaining the same great taste Canadians love. The result is
a delicious cookie with 90 per cent less trans fat per serving!
    Starting December 8, 2008, girls in communities across Canada will be
taking orders for classic chocolate and vanilla cookies, which will be
delivered in the spring. Whether your favourite is vanilla or chocolate, the
classic cookies offer the best of both worlds.

    GGC has been selling cookies for 81 years. Now, more than eight decades
later, Girl Guide cookies are a time-honoured and eagerly awaited Canadian
tradition. When you buy Girl Guide cookies, you are supporting Guiding
activities in your neighbourhood and across the country. The funds raised from
cookie sales support programs that give girls the chance to discover new
interests, learn valuable leadership skills and make lasting friendships.
    So please support the Girl Guide in your community and remember to order
your classic cookies early!/NOTE TO PHOTO EDITORS: A photo accompanying this release is available on
