IMMOKALEE, FL – Ark Foods is leveling up the produce aisle once again. This month, the modern-day farming company is unveiling two new salad kit flavors: the Honey Mustard Pretzel Salad and the Blue Cheese Cornbread Salad.
In just a few weeks, Ark Foods will bring its full product portfolio — from salad kits to chili peppers and squash that make vegetables a little less ordinary — to the International Fresh Produce Association’s (IFPA) Global Produce & Floral Show in Anaheim, CA, October 16-18.
For Ark Foods, salad kits are more than a convenience product — they represent the company’s mission to rethink how consumers experience vegetables.
“With salad kits now reaching 28% of households, it’s clear they’ve become a true staple for families across the country,” said Noah Robbins, Founder & CEO of Ark Foods. “At Ark Foods, we’ve directed our R&D toward creating a new generation of salad kits; unique flavor-driven blends crafted from simple and clean ingredients, designed to make enjoying vegetables both effortless and inspiring.”
Ark Foods’ salad kits are all about simple ingredients, flavor-forward blends, and a touch of creativity that makes eating vegetables exciting. The line currently includes refreshing riffs on classic favorites, all designed with the same clean, straightforward approach Ark Foods brings to everything it does.
New Flavors Hitting the Shelves Soon:
- Honey Mustard Pretzel Salad – honey mustard dressing paired with chopped romaine and red cabbage, shredded carrots, and waffle pretzels
- Blue Cheese Cornbread Salad – smoky blue cheese dressing paired with chopped romaine and red cabbage, shredded carrots, and savory cornbread croutons
These new launches join Ark Foods’ growing lineup of imaginative Chopped Salad Kits, including:
- Taco Truck
- Crunchy Sesame Ramen
- Sweet Kale Lemon Poppyseed
“Retailers are eager for differentiation in the salad category, and these new flavors provide them with something truly distinctive to offer,” said Eduardo Mestre, Chief Operating Officer at Ark Foods. “We’ve reimagined classic, familiar flavors in a way that sparks shopper curiosity while maintaining the clean, fresh standards Ark Foods is known for. Our goal is to exceed expectations with offerings that stand out, prioritizing health and wellness rather than replicating what already exists on the shelf.”
Salad kits, peppers, squash, tomatoes — whatever the form, our goal is simple: make vegetables feel a little less ordinary. IFPA is the perfect place to taste what we’ve been up to.
Ark Foods invites IFPA attendees to experience the future of vegetables firsthand at Booth 1246 in Anaheim, CA, October 16-18. To explore the full product line, visit www.arkfoods.com or contact Lindsay Belfatto, VP of Sales, at hello@arkfoods.com.
