SALINAS, CA - While I am sitting cozily between Christmas to-dos and what will carry over into the new year, the Taylor Farms team is making sure 2023 starts off with a cascade. The company is introducing several new products, bulking up both its Salad Kits and Ready-to-Eat Bowl recipes.
“By pushing the boundaries on flavor innovation, we continue to help our retail partners bring more people into the value-added salad category,” Micah Shea, Vice President of Sales, shared. “Our customers are excited about these new flavorful and convenient recipes.”
Totaling seven new additions—three bowls and four kits—the team shared that the new items are currently available at grocers nationwide, with holiday meal demands sure to propel them quickly to mainstay status.
“We are expanding the culinary experience we offer to consumers,” Charis Neves, Director of Innovation and Product Management, commented on the process and goal of the supplier’s ever-expanding portfolio. “We continue to innovate with bold new flavors that draw inspiration from global cuisine and top trending foods and develop new products that not only fit into a healthy, on-the-go lifestyle but embrace flavor because we believe that eating healthy doesn’t have to be boring.”
