ORANGE, Calif., Sept. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The maker of the
HERDEZ® brand, Mexico's
No. 1 selling salsa, was recognized with the CPG Award for
Innovation and Creativity for its HERDEZ® Guacamole
Salsa by the Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA).
The award, presented at the GMA Leadership Forum held last month
at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs,
Colo., is selected each year by the GMA Advisory Council in
recognition for organizations' creativity and willingness to take
risks, resulting in in measurable results and significant impact on
the industry.
"We are on a mission to bring the spirit of Mexico to every table," said Ryan Michaelis, president of MegaMex Foods. "By
combining the creamy texture of real avocado and the spicy kick of
authentic salsa verde, we've created a delicious, innovative
product as unique as Mexico.
You'll want to use it on everything – as a dip, topping, cooking
ingredient and more!"
"GMA member companies are continuously seeking to innovate, and
MegaMex Foods is a leader in finding new ways to create new
products for their consumers," said Greg
Smith, global Lead Partner at KPMG LLP and chairman of the
GMA Advisory Council. "We congratulate MegaMex Foods and the
company is a deserving winner of the GMA CPG Award for Innovation
and Creativity."
HERDEZ® Guacamole Salsa was developed by MegaMex
Foods, LLC, a joint venture between Hormel Foods and Herdez del
Fuerte, S.A. de C.V. The salsa combines the tastes of tomatillo,
avocado, onion, jalapeño and cilantro, resulting in a
rich and creamy, smooth and tangy flavor.
"Guacamole salsa is our superstar in the HERDEZ®
portfolio," says Diana DeLoza, a
senior brand manager for MegaMex Foods. "Consumers are telling us
they can't live without it."
