Lipman Family Farms is ready to introduce its new, fire-roasted salsa offering at IFPA Foodservice Conference in Monterey, CA.

Wakefern Food Corp. refreshed the look for its Wholesome Pantry Organic and Wholesome Pantry Free-From products, making it easier for customers to shop the brand and quickly spot the quality, ingredients and value they expect. Available at ShopRite, Price Rite Marketplace, The Fresh Grocer, Dearborn Market, Gourmet Garage, Fairway Market and Morton Williams, the updated packaging features a modernized logo, color cues that distinguish organic and free-from items, and clear design elements that help key product attributes stand out on shelf.

For the past decade, the Organic Produce Summit, held in July in Monterey, CA, near the nation’s “Salad Bowl,” has proven to be a tremendous draw for sellers, buyers and producers to celebrate organic produce. This year’s event was no exception.

OPS has expanded a bit over the years, with this year’s July 14-16 meeting spreading over three days, including grower tours, two days of sessions, several networking events and the traditional one-day trade show featuring more than 200 exhibitors. 

JOH has acquired Fresh Approach Sales & Marketing, a respected Wisconsin-based broker with more than two decades of experience serving clients and customers throughout the upper Midwest. This strategic acquisition further strengthens JOH's north central organization and reinforces the company's continued investment in expanding its presence across key Midwest markets. 

Target Corp. announced the election of Joe DePinto, former president and CEO of 7-Eleven Inc., to its board of directors. The appointment is another step Target is taking to accelerate its enterprise strategy and fuel new growth under CEO Michael Fiddelke.

After nearly 20 years of producing and packing leafy greens and fresh-cut vegetables through its ownership in The Salad Farm, Muzzi Family Farms is bringing those products directly to market under its own brands.

The expansion gives foodservice and retail customers a broader selection of organic and conventional products while simplifying purchasing through a single, trusted supplier.
