I, Melvin S. Gordon, certify that:

1.  I have reviewed this annual report on Form 10-KSB of Paradise, Inc.

2.  Based on my knowledge, this annual 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 annual report;

3.  Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
information included in this annual report, fairly present in all
material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows of the small business issuer as of, and for, the periods presented
in this annual report;

4.  The small business issuer'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 small business issuer 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 small business
issuer, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by
others within those entities, particularly during the period in which
this annual 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;

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 small business issuer's
internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the small
business issuer's most recent fiscal quarter (the small business issuer's
fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
small business issuer's internal control over financial reporting; and

5.  The small business issuer's other certifying officer and I have
disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over
financial reporting, to the small business issuer's auditors and the
audit committee of the small business issuer's board of directors (or
persons performing the equivalent functions):


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 small business issuer'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 small business issuer's
internal control over financial reporting.
