“At Papa John’s we believe that pineapple belongs on pizza,”
said Paul Fabre, SVP of Product Innovation at Papa John’s.
“Partnering with Dole makes sense because there is nothing more
important or vital to our business and to earning our customers’
trust than providing high-quality food. This starts with how we
source our ingredients, including DOLE pineapple, which brings a
rich sweetness to our pies.”
Papa John’s Super Hawaiian Pizza offers a taste of the tropics,
loaded with sweet, juicy DOLE Pineapple tidbits, julienne-cut
Canadian bacon, hickory-smoked bacon, a three-cheese blend, and
real cheese made from mozzarella on Papa John’s signature sauce and
original fresh, never-frozen six-ingredient dough.
Papa John’s understands its consumers want to know where their
food comes from and what is in it. Partnering with Dole showcases
Papa John’s unwavering commitment to serving high-quality
ingredients. DOLE Pineapple is responsibly sourced in Thailand and
the Philippines, and not only meets, but exceeds the highest
international standards.
Papa John’s Global Food Safety Program and Standards applies to
its entire supply chain. The company conducts annual food safety
and quality audits of Papa John’s Quality Control Centers where its
original pizza dough is made to ensure compliance with U.S. food
safety and quality standards and its own global food safety
standards. Papa John’s also ensures all suppliers have undergone a
third-party food safety audit. In addition, the company audits its
ingredient suppliers annually and provides feedback to drive
continuous improvement.
Papa John’s was also the first national pizza delivery chain to
announce the removal of artificial flavors and synthetic colors
from its entire food menu in April of 2016, including preservatives
such as BHA and BHT, flavor enhancer MSG, cellulose and partially
hydrogenated oils, and high fructose corn syrup. For more
