PLEASANT PRAIRIE, WI – With PMA Fresh Summit just a couple of weeks away, Good Foods announced its new line of refrigerated salad dressing will be showcased at PMA on October 20-21. If you can’t catch the new line at PMA, the six varieties–Asian Ginger, Beet Balsamic, Apple Thyme, Avocado Ranch, Blue Cheese, and Classic Caesar–are also now available nationwide.
"Consumers are demanding fresher, cleaner dressings and dips that deliver incredible flavor without having to add artificial ingredients or preservatives," said Mandy Bottomlee, Marketing Director, in a recent press release. "We’re excited that we are able to offer a line of dressing based on real, simple ingredients like fresh herbs, fresh produce, and cold-pressed juices.”
Chicago-based market researcher Mintel showed in its May 2016 “Sweet & Savoury Spreads” Category Insight that 30 percent of Americans who buy chips or dips agree that “no artificial ingredients” is an important nutritional attribute, the company said. While shelf-stable dressings have seen flat to declining growth over the last few years, the refrigerated offerings have grown to a $400M category with sales up 3.1 percent, according to data from IRI Worldwide.
Good Foods dressings are made with natural ingredients including fresh herbs, like shallots, parsley, chives, and dill; fresh produce, like carrots, avocados, apples, onions, and garlic; and cold-pressed juices, like carrot, beet, apple, lemon, and orange. All Good Foods’ dressings are high pressure processed to capture the flavors and to maintain freshness.
Check out the new line at PMA, and look for it in your local produce section.
