SACRAMENTO, CA - In our latest challenge to the industry, we wanted to know who could be the first to find the ANUK logo hidden like an “Easter egg” on the cover of our sister publication The Snack Magazine. We enjoyed your submissions so much, we created a gallery above of a few of our favorites! If you missed out, don’t worry, we will be hiding this logo on every issue of The Snack moving forward, and the race to find it starts once ANUK sends out the email.

When we challenge the produce industry, the AndNowUKnow staff is continually impressed with the competitive spirit displayed by our readers. Despite an exciting race, only one could claim first place. In this case Ciruli Brothers' Director of Supply Chain Management, Scott Hakes claimed the $100 prize. Coming in a close second was Chris Veillon, Director of Marketing for NatureFresh. Nipping at his heels was Danny Ortiz, Quality Assurance Inspector for Sysco.
