Green Giant Fresh named PMA 2017 sensory contest finalist

Green Giant Fresh is gearing up for the 2017 PMA Fresh Summit show in New Orleans, Oct. 19-21. The company is a finalist in the PMA Sensory Experience Contest.

“This year we will be featuring five new vegetable noodles (all of which come in three convenient pack types and sizes), as well as two new Brussels sprouts blends and our unique ‘first-of- its-kind in the marketplace’ spaghetti squash product that’s been getting quite a bit of buzz,” Vice President of Marketing Jennifer Dixon said.

After winning PMA’s Sensory Experience Contest at the Fresh Summit Convention & Expo for its Sweet Potato Cinnamon Rolls in 2015, Green Giant Fresh has once again been named a finalist in the same competition for the last two years. This year’s entry, Spaghetti Squash Pizza Nests, is made with Green Gian Fresh’s new spaghetti squash product and will be one of the many new items featured at the show.

“Our efforts in recent years have been focused on revitalizing and transforming slower moving categories into popular value-added vegetable products for a new generation of consumers,” Green Giant Fresh Chief Executive Officer, Jamie Strachan said. “These efforts are in keeping with our vision of growing next generation healthful foods.”
