Ruiz Food Products, Inc., the largest frozen Mexican food manufacturer in the United States, announced Más Bold, a new El Monterey taquito product line with unique, bold flavors based on Mexican and American favorites, in an infused seasoned shell for intense flavor.

“Ruiz Foods continues to evolve to deliver even more of what our customers love and improve the variety and value we offer,” said Jennifer Ginnetti, Ruiz Foods senior vice president, retail business unit. “The new bold flavor profiles of Más Bold build on our strong foundation, allowing us to better meet consumer needs and positions us for the next chapter of innovation.”

Más Bold is now available for retailers.
