“The SEPC fall Southern Innovations is an intimate opportunity to showcase our product innovation with two category product launches,” Kori Tuggle, Braga Fresh vice president marketing and product development, said in the release.
At the Southern Innovations exhibition, Josie’s Organics will introduce two organic chopped salad kits and three salad blends in its Farmer’s Market Favorites series.
According to the release, this includes:
Avocado Goddess chop salad kit.
Aloha BBQ chop salad kit.
Organic Heirloom Crisp salad blend.

“The Farmer’s Market Favorites is a line extension for Josie’s Organics salad blends,” Tuggle said. “These three new SKUs offer unique leafy greens varietals for organic shoppers seeking something different with flavor, loft and texture for at home salad making.”
The organic Aloha BBQ chopped salad kit features Hawaiian barbecue flavors with tangy-sweet pineapple bits and vegan coconut bacon. Braga Fresh is the first company to offer this vegan salad kit ingredient, which was inspired by food influencers, the release said.
