Falling in step with the company's pioneering spirit, Mann’s will also be sponsoring the Ideation Fresh Foodservice Forum December 8 at the New York Hilton. The one-day forum is an adjunct to the New York Produce Show and offers an in-depth look into produce on menus and strategies designed to increase consumption of fruits and vegetables.

Mann’s executives will be at the show to present The Joe Nucci Award for Product Innovation. In its fourth year, the award recognizes innovation that will lead to expanded consumption of fruits and vegetables. The award is named for Joe Nucci, who passed away in 2005 at the age of 40. Nucci's sister and Mann’s Chairman & CEO, Lorri Koster, will present the award which is judged based on health, culinary application, versatility, shelf life, taste and flavor.

Lorri Koster, Chairman & CEO, Mann Packing “Fresh produce is one of today’s fastest growing categories, and we are proud to honor leading innovators in the industry with the Joe Nucci award,” said Koster, according to the release. “We always look forward to this time of year and the New York show. It’s been amazing to watch it grow into the second largest produce trade show in North America,” she added.
