In the US, Freshway Foods has announced that it has launched a new line of products for the school foodservice market, called Power Packs.
Power Packs are individually packaged fresh-cut fruits and vegetables for schools participating in the US Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programme, with the product line consisting of a large selection of fresh produce including regional and ethnic varieties.
“Power Packs are two ounce snack packs that contain 100 per cent usable product and do not require any cutting, cleaning or additional handling,” said Dan Purdy, vice-president of sales and marketing. “This enables school foodservice departments to cut time and labour costs while maintaining food safety standards.”
The company has also created a Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programme Toolkit which serves as a resource for school participation in the USDA programme.
Included in the toolkit are checklists and guides to participation, as well as high quality promotional materials for students and parents.
