# CERTIFICATION PURSUANT
TOSECTION 302(a) OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002

I, David Mintz, certify
that:

1. I have reviewed this annual report on Form 10-K of Tofutti Brands Inc.;

2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a
          material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
          made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not
          misleading with respect to the period covered by this report; 3. Based on my
          knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included in
          this report, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition,
          results of operations and cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the
          periods presented in this report; 4. The registrants other certifying
          officer and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure
          controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and
          15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange
          Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:

(a) Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure
          controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that
          material information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated
          subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly
          during the period in which this report is being prepared; (b) Designed such
          internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal control over
          financial reporting to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable
          assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation
          of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
          accepted accounting principles; and (c) Evaluated the effectiveness of the
          registrants disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this
          report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and
          procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report based on such
          evaluation; and (d) Disclosed in this report any change in the registrants
          internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
          registrants most recent fiscal quarter (the registrants fourth
          fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or
          is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrants internal
          control over financial reporting; and 5. The registrants other certifying
          officers and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal
          control over financial reporting, to the registrants auditors and the
          audit committee of the registrants board of directors (or persons
          performing the equivalent function): (a) All significant deficiencies and
          material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over
          financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the
          registrants ability to record, process, summarize and report financial
          information; and (b) Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves
          management or other employees who have a significant role in the
          registrants internal control over financial reporting. Date: March 27,
          2009
