”We believe that plant-based foods are not a trend; it’s a shift in consumer preference and is moving to become a lasting part of the American culinary lifestyle. Until now, Fresh Cravings has been known as a refrigerated salsa brand, and this launch positions us as a significant player in the growing plant-based food space,” says Jay Whitney, president. “We pushed ourselves to accelerate our innovation process, as we see tremendous opportunity to deliver healthier alternatives at highly competitive prices to all consumers.”
