Brussels sprouts are a growing category, and this company is hoping to give consumers what they want! One pound microwaveable bags are currently available at Ippolito International but two pound bags will be in stores within the next few weeks. The brussels sprouts are washed and ready to eat. VP of Sales & Marketing, Paul Mocettini, explained, “The one pound bag is great for consumer convenience and is easy to take home and put in the microwave. We have experienced an increase in demand for Brussels sprouts over the past two years.”

Sun World International is hoping its latest employee will shine some light on safely delivering fruit to consumers! Claudio Olave is the new Director of Quality Assurance and Food Safety. Sun World’s quality standards, inspection protocols, and food safety program are included in his responsibilities. CEO & President Al Vangelos stated, “Claudio’s expertise and leadership will further strengthen our robust programs and ensure, for the sake of our customers, consumers and employees, that we are on the leading edge of quality assurance and food safety initiatives.”

Bringing back the essentials can be a tasty pursuit. The Renaissance Food Group is launching several new features for their Chef Essentials product line. Highlights include new packaging, new products, innovative consumer messaging, and videos and recipes available via Quick Response technology. President Jim Catchot stated, “This next generation of improvements elevates the line to new quality heights and adds more choices for at home dining consumers.”
