Dole Mushrooms rolls out new labels, health info
Dole Mushrooms, Kennett Square, Pa., has unveiled labels for its mushroom packaging, said Gary Schroeder, director. The new look is an eye-appealing design change, he said.
“For the first time for us, we’re making some very significant health claims that have been approved to put on labels,” Schroeder said.
The labels will point out that mushrooms are a good source of phosphorous and promote strong bones and teeth and help maintain a healthy heart. The Dole brand name should help make the new look and the health claims even more effective, Schroeder said.

The project, which should be completed by spring, includes the addition of specialized chambers and new growing rooms. The company also has had good response to its RPET trays and is looking to convert its entire line to RPET.
