WATSONVILLE, CA - It’s a big month for Monterey Mushrooms news, this time honing in on the foodservice segment of the business. The company announced it is introducing a new 40 oz bag for sliced white mushrooms to those it serves in the foodservice sector.

“The larger bag, presented for the first time, improves shelf-life and quality,” said Sandy Malouff-Quintana, National Account Manager, Foodservice. "Convenience is a factor when selling fresh produce, and our pre-sliced mushrooms are the ultimate in convenience."

This bag is designed to meet the needs of the pizza business and other foodservice operators who use large quantities of sliced mushrooms as a key ingredient, according to a press release. The company added that sliced mushroom sales are strong and will continue to grow.

"When we can offer a solution to customers—either in a commercial kitchen or a home kitchen—it makes a huge difference,” Malouff-Quintana said. "Helping our customers save on labor costs and decrease food waste, is our goal."

The newest addition to Monterey Mushrooms will be available this weekend at PMA Foodservice, booth #108, as well as a full line of fresh mushrooms in multiple sizes and varieties, designed to meet the specific needs of foodservice operators.

This announcement comes on the heels of a slew of new things for the mushroom grower, not the least of which are nationwide organic mushrooms and new summer-inspired label art on select packages it provides.
