CHICAGO, May 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Alexia, a ConAgra
Foods brand (NYSE: CAG), announced today that all of the
brand's offerings will be non-GMO by the end of 2016. In addition,
the entire Alexia line will be Non-GMO Project Verified within the
next 12 months.
"We are already 90 percent of the way there with only a few
items left to finish the process of Non-GMO Project verification,"
said Rob Johnson, senior brand
manager, Alexia Foods. "We're excited about the commitment we've
made and look forward to continuing to evolve our food to meet the
Alexia consumer's preferences."
Building on that commitment, Alexia is announcing two new side
dishes made with organic potatoes: Organic Savory Spice Sweet
Potato Fries and Alexia Truffle Fries. Just like the rest of the
Alexia line, both new offerings are made with ingredients
harvested at their peak, and then seasoned creatively with
all-natural flavors. They are available exclusively at Whole
Foods.
With a delicious blend of organic ginger, cumin, cinnamon and
other spices, the Organic Savory Spice Sweet Potato Fries bring the
tantalizing flavors of Morocco
from farm to table – and are Non-GMO verified and Certified USDA
Organic. The organic sweet potatoes are grown at a small family
farm in North Carolina.
The all-new Alexia Truffle Fries capture the full aroma and
complex flavor of black truffles often enjoyed at high-end
restaurants. The Non-GMO verified fries are also made with organic
potatoes, as well as black summer truffles foraged from the slopes
of northern Italy and seasoned
with Mediterranean sea salt.
Consumers can look for the Non-GMO Project logo on Alexia
packaging and the brand's website. The ongoing list of Alexia's
offerings that are Non-GMO Project Verified is available on the
Non-GMO Project website.
