Holiday on a Platter

To help commemorate the Sept. 16 celebration of El Grito -- Mexico’s Independence Day -- Mann Packing Co. is introducing a new fiesta platter. Mann’s Fiesta Tray with Salsa Ranch Dip features an assortment of fresh-cut vegetables and is decorated with a Mexican-flag inspired label. “We had tremendous success with similar in-and-out holiday platters for St. Patrick’s Day and Cinco de Mayo,” said Lorri Koster, VP of marketing for Salinas, Calif.-based Mann. “These holiday vehicles are a great way to drive incremental sales and get consumers thinking ‘produce’ when they think party.” For more information, visit www.veggiesmade easy.com.
