MIC Food Exhibiting in Booth #5240 at the Specialty Food Association 2024 Summer Fancy Food Show

New York, NY – (June 19, 2024) MIC Food will exhibit at the 2024 Summer Fancy Food Show, which attracts thousands of diverse makers, buyers, brokers, distributors, and industry professionals from across the U.S. and the globe for three days of delicious product discovery, networking, and business opportunities. MIC Food will showcase its Big Banana® Plantain Slices, Tio Jorge® Yuca Cheese Bites and Yuca Fries, and United Flavors® Sweet Potato Tots and Tri-Color Sweet Potato Fries at Booth #5240 in the Plant-Based Pavilion.

In line with current food trends emphasizing global-forward and plant-based foods, MIC Food's offerings resonate with the growing demand for innovative and health-conscious dining options. Highlighting veggies at the center of the plate, these products cater to the increasing interest in vegetable-centric meals, a trend noted by Food Service Director. Additionally, MIC Food embraces the trend of flavor fusions, a 2024 trend observed by Metz Culinary Management, with its diverse and flavorful product range. The Tio Jorge® Yuca Cheese Bites perfectly exemplify the stuffed vegetable trend identified by the NRA's "What's Hot 2024" report, while the rise in refrigerated entrees for retail food service, highlighted recently by the Specialty Food Association, aligns with MIC Food’s mission to provide convenient, high-quality solutions for both consumers and foodservice professionals.

“We are excited to showcase our unique product offerings which include trend-forward, ready-to-heat tropical fruits and vegetables” says MIC Food.

The Show runs June 23-25 at the Javits Center in New York and is open only to qualified members of the specialty food trade, industry affiliates, and media. For more information, click here.
