Star Fine Foods Supports Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Star Fine Foods will be donating $25,000, regardless of sales, to Susan G. Komen to support its mission to save lives and end breast cancer forever. The donation will be made in 2014 as part of partnership between Borges USA – Star Fine Foods and Komen. During the month of October, the labels of Star Extra Virgin Olive Oil will go from green to pink to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The new pink labels will be seen on all 17-ounce Star Olive Oil bottles in retail grocery stores across the western United States. “Olive oil is one of the pillars of a healthy diet, and a healthy diet and lifestyle may lower the risk of breast cancer,” says Eduard Badia, CEO/President of Borges USA – Star Fine Foods. “Making our olive oil labels pink during October seemed like a great way to emphasize breast cancer awareness while reminding people of the importance of making healthy choices.” Carrie Glasscock, director, corporate relations at Susan G. Komen, says, “Breast cancer claims a life – our mothers, daughters, sisters and friends – every 60 seconds somewhere around the world. Support from dedicated partners like Borges USA – Star Fine Foods makes it possible for Komen to continue our lifesaving work, and brings us closer to a world without breast cancer.”
