Charlotte, NC — Bakkavor, a leading international manufacturer of fresh prepared foods, is delighted to be making its first US appearance at the 2017 National Restaurant Show (Booth #10227) taking place May 20-23, 2017 in Chicago, Ill.
During the event, Bakkavor will showcase its first consumer facing brand to the US market to complement its private label business. The Company will use the vibrant Yaas! Brand to drive innovation with Bakkavor’s talented team of chefs creating fresh products using on-trend flavors in hummus and dips, soups, sauces, burritos, prepared meals and sides.
As the UK’s leading manufacturer of fresh prepared foods, with over 30 years of experience, Bakkavor is committed to strengthening its US presence. With three regional production centers in Charlotte, North Carolina, Jessup, Pennsylvania and Carson, California, Bakkavor’s unique recipe of fresh ingredients, innovative products and small-batch production has resulted in significant growth as retailers and foodservice operators look to meet increasing consumer demand for convenient fresh meal solutions.
Bakkavor’s commitment to innovation and freshness has supported its strong growth record. Working directly with its customers to provide high quality products that are fresh and delicious, Bakkavor is a valued partner for retailers and foodservice operators looking to expand this growing food segment. As consumers demand more fresh prepared meals and snacks, Bakkavor is continuing to innovate to drive trends, not just follow them.
“Our commitment to quality, flavor and innovation that has established our UK business is translating well to the trend for fresher foods with cleaner labels in the US market,” stated Ivan Clingan, Bakkavor USA CEO.
Last year alone, Bakkavor introduced 140 products in the US market with 200 anticipated in 2017. Between its team of professional chefs and in collaboration with customers, Bakkavor will continue to innovate and develop flavorful and fresh prepared meals and snacks that consumers are seeking.
