Izzycue Wins Supply Bid for Organic Canola Mayo Production for Whole Foods Market Mid-Atlantic Regional Prepared Foods Kitchen.
Izzycue will start supplying organically-certified canola mayonnaise packed in 30 lb bag-in-box bulk packaging for Whole Foods Market, Inc (WFMI).
WASHINGTON, DC, November 15, 2011
Izzycue has launched a proprietary line of USDA Certified Organic canola mayonnaise for Whole Foods Market, Inc. (WFMI) in the Mid-Atlantic Regional prepared foods kitchen.This new line of mayonnaise is made with a healthier non-GMO expeller-pressed canola oil and packed in a bulk format.
"Today we reaffirmed our company's mission of catering to companies whose CSRs are aligned to that of ours," says Kenneth H. Tan, the company's Founder and CEO. "Producing good food with good ingredients is a strong CSR," continues Kenneth.
In the food service bulk conventional (non-organic) mayonnaise business, soy bean oil is more commonly used. Soy oil is good for the purpose as it is low-cost and easily accessible.
"Our product comes with several qualities not normally found in a natural mayonnaise. The Izzycue mayo is certified organic by USDA National Organic Program (NOP); it is made with canola oil that is expeller-pressed, as opposed to chemically-extracted; and finally it is a Non-GMO oil. All these components has to come together for our valued Client, Whole Foods Market," adds Kenneth.
"We competed for the business and prevailed. Our cuttings were remarkable and our price points competitive. This is a tremendous achievement, and I am truly proud of it as our competitors were large multi-nationals with sales in the billions," Kenneth continues.
Whole Foods Market will begin using this new high-end organic mayo in their "Organic Salad Bars" when the mayo is delivered to them in December. About forty-one (41) stores will enjoy this product. This program links in with Whole Foods Market's Health Starts Here (HSH) national push by the company's CEO John Mackey.
