Harnessing its position as an importer and distributor of fresh produce, Baldor Specialty Foods has announced the expansion of its Urban Roots retail line with a trio of ready-to-eat, plant-based snacks. The new products feature veggies alongside plant-based dips and dressings, conveniently packaged, for shoppers on-the-go.
