Think you might be able to push it some more? Perhaps put a site up for it, maybe Amazon, Ebay, etc?

Or, perhaps try and market it again to more local food stores, Rather than the big boys? Local makets perhaps?

Failing that, go on Shark Tank I've seen a few health foods go through Dragon's Den shows and end up in stores.
