McCain Foods, a global leader in prepared potato products, has introduced McCain SureCrisp Seaside fries — a lightly coated, straight-cut fry seasoned with a blend of salt, pepper, and garlic. With this product, the company seeks to evoke the nostalgic boardwalk flavor experience while addressing the challenges of maintaining crispiness during takeout and delivery.
The McCain SureCrisp Seaside fries are engineered with a specialized coating that allows them to withstand the journey from restaurant to home. In other words, the company claims that the flavor and texture quality of each straight-cut fry will be preserved even after transportation.
McCain Foods strategically launches this innovation just in time for summer to offer restaurant operators a convenient, pre-seasoned option that saves kitchen preparation time while providing a high-quality side dish that evokes the warm, familiar taste of seaside boardwalk fare.
