ROSEMONT, IL - It’s been a fairly dreary California winter for the ANUK team, and we’re happy to hear anything that makes us think of sunshine and spring. Here to help break us out of the winter blues is US Foods, who recently announced the launch of Spring Scoop 2019, which focuses on the latest 24 items to hit its Serve Good program.
Stacie Sopinka, Senior VP of Product Development and Innovation, US Foods“Sustainability on the menu is more than just a trend, it’s a movement that has shaped how diners approach their purchasing decisions. In fact, research indicates that 74 percent of millennials are willing to pay more for sustainable products and services,” said Stacie Sopinka, Senior Vice President of Product Development and Innovation. “Our Serve Good portfolio offers independent restaurant operators innovative and versatile products that help create real value while meeting the immediate and long-term cravings and conscience of contemporary diners.”
The products continue to deliver on the criteria associated with the line: sustainable, responsibly-sourced products that focus on waste reduction.
According to a company press release, adding organic items to the menu attracts diners and allows operators to command higher prices. Spring Scoop highlights several organic products:
Roseli Organic Basil Pesto is made with organic canola oil and Parmesan cheese
