The Cedar's Foods Organic line has been refreshed by the brand to help keep its dips and spreads suitable for consumers who are increasingly seeking out free-from food items.
The range now features no seed oil across the Organic Hommus line, while the Reserve line will be certified seed oil-free this spring. The Organic line also features no guar gum or citric acid as a nod to increasing demand for foods that embrace simpler recipes with fewer additives in the mix. The hummus products will also feature updated branding to help consumers quickly and easily understand their new recipes.
Executive Vice President of Marketing Aimee Tsakirellis spoke on the updated Cedar's Foods Organic line saying, "Consumers are reading labels more closely than ever, and frankly, they deserve better. We’ve reformulated the Organic line to eliminate seed oils and unnecessary additives like guar gum, citric acid, and added sugar. These updates raise the bar for clean-label snacking without compromising the creamy texture and bold flavor our fans love."
