It reported a 12% rise in sales in the third quarter, when its net sales hit $3.7m.

David Mintz, chairman and CEO said: “While we recorded a small loss for the quarter, our principal product lines continued to show consumer acceptance. Sales of soy-cheese products increased by 18% and frozen desserts sales increased by approximately 8% as compared to the comparable period in 2014. We have reduced expenses while focusing on expanding sales of our non-dairy cheese products and frozen dessert and food products. Price increases instituted earlier in 2015 should provide improved gross margins during the remainder of the year.”
