Grace Foods refreshed the packaging for its Dunn’s River seasoning range, introducing bold colour coding and Caribbean-inspired graphics designed to improve shelf visibility. The updated look is rolling out across products including Chicken, Fish, All Purpose, Jerk, Curry Goat and Barbecue Seasoning, alongside herbs, spices and fry mixes.
The packaging update coincides with the launch of Dunn’s River Jamaican Green Seasoning, made with spring onion, white onion, thyme, garlic and chilli peppers. The formulation is positioned specifically around Jamaican flavour traditions and excludes coriander and culantro, which are more commonly associated with Eastern Caribbean green seasonings.
For shoppers, the redesign makes the wider seasoning portfolio easier to identify while reinforcing the brand’s Caribbean positioning. The refresh also gives Grace Foods a more consistent visual identity across supermarkets and convenience stores as it expands the Dunn’s River range.
