WILD GARDEN™  SIGNS HUMMUS DEAL WITH UNITED AIRLINES

 

Cicero, Illinois –  At the heart of a new program by United Airlines to offer healthy, great tasting foods to its passengers is Wild Garden™ Hummus Dip, an all-natural, shelf-stable, and authentic Mediterranean dip that is becoming more and more popular among consumers.

Wild Garden™ Hummus Dip is now available in United Airlines’ RightBite snackbox which includes the high energy, trans fat free snacks.

More than two million snackboxes have been sold on United flights since the company began offering the four snackbox selection options to passengers on United flights over three and a half hours and Ted flights over two and half hours in duration.  Customers can choose from the Jumpstart, Minimeal, Quickpick or RightBite snackbox.

“Hummus is growing in popularity among the public not just because it offers a consistently great taste, but because it also satisfies public demand for a healthy, preservative and trans fat free food,” says Mark D. Smith, national sales manager for Wild Garden™.

“Wild Garden™  Hummus Dip is shelf-stable, vegetarian friendly and features the healthiest ingredients available. Hummus is made from the garbanzo bean, which is a good source of cholesterol-lowering fiber. Wild Garden™ uses a unique process to eliminate preservatives and unnecessary additives, resulting in a shelf-stable vegetarian dish.”

Smith explains that “shelf-stable” means that the unopened product can remain in stock for up to 18 months without refrigeration, while most refrigerated dips and products have a short shelf life, often of only a few weeks.

“It’s not only beneficial to consumers, but also economical for wholesalers and retailers who can purchase our products in larger quantities.

Hummus has been a popular food delicacy for thousands of years, enjoyed long before electricity and the refrigerator, and before preservatives were added to foods. By returning foods to their natural state, Wild Garden™  offers a higher level of enjoyment that does not compromise health benefits, quality, food texture, or taste.
