Phillips updates packaging
Phillips Mushroom Farms, Kennett Square, Pa., has updated the packaging for its popular Gourmet Blend, which contains baby bella, oyster and shiitake mushrooms, said Sean Steller, director of business development.
“This packaging change improved the visual appearance of the product while also reducing plastic use by 21% and shipping space by 50%,” he said.
“These are great improvements to the sustainability side, as we constantly look for areas of opportunity,” he said.
Phillips also is promoting its new blend-ready mushroom product, which is a ready-to-use diced and roasted mushroom that can easily be mixed with any protein to create a healthy and delicious meal, said Rick Angelucci, general manager at Phillips Gourmet Inc., the company’s processing division.
The product comes frozen in a 2-pound bag packed 10 per case or in a bulk 20-pound case.
“We also have a 10-ounce retail package that the consumer can mix with a pound of ground protein to make burgers, meatloaf, tacos, chili and more without the hassle of all the work in the kitchen,” he said.
The company hopes to have this product on the shelf in the fall.
