Grab-and-Go
options
Snacking and eating on-the-go have become a huge area of
opportunity as consumers' schedules continue to be flexible.
" We've seen an increase in the selection of grab-and-go
options in the industry, including better-for-you and higher
quality offerings, " explains Alyssa Barrett, customer marketing
manager - convenience, Rich Products, Buffalo, N.Y. " We
continue to innovate and introduce new grab-and-go options
for consumers focusing on on-trend options like globally inspired
options, new twists on old favorites and fully finished,
ready-to-serve classics. "
In other trends, the popularity of Hispanic flavors is growing.
Rich's offers a vast Hispanic Portfolio, so retailers, restaurants,
and foodservice operations can offer a wide variety.
The company's Hispanic offerings span everything from tres
leches and portioned desserts, to bakery items and traditional
Rosca ring breads.
Rich's offers a wide variety of individually packaged sweet
snacks. They're easy to eat on-the-go.
" We offer grab-and-go packaging that make it easier for
consumers, such as items available in cups that fit into their
vehicle's cupholder, like our Tres Leches Style Cake Cups and
Parfaits, and individually wrapped cookies or brownies that
ensure long lasting great taste, safe consumption, and simplified
display, " Barrett explains.

crackers. Mousse Parfait Cups are perfectly portioned
and offer a grabbable, irresistible treat for sweet pickme-ups.

to thaw and serve. It's a perfect summertime berry addition
to any menu.
