Mann Packing Co., a subsidiary of Coral Gables, Florida-based Del Monte Fresh Produce N.A. Inc., has partnered with Mezete, a ready-to-eat food brand, to bring a line of popular hummus products to American shoppers nationwide.
True to authentic and gourmet Eastern Mediterranean flavors, Mezete products contain natural ingredients with no preservatives that are ready-to-eat, long-lasting and do not require refrigeration.
The Kasih Food Production Co., a Jordanian manufacturer of Eastern Mediterranean foods with 100 years of industry expertise, launched the brand with freshness and quality in mind. Following two decades of extensive research and development, the brand created a hummus with an 18-month shelf life without the use of preservatives. Thanks to breakthroughs and packaging solutions, Mezete products can have a long shelf life even when stored in ambient temperatures.
Through this new partnership, Mann Packing Co. will help bring product awareness to Mezete’s new hummus arrivals to revolutionize packaged foods and provide nutrition, taste and convenience to its consumers. The hummus variations are available in five flavors: Sundried Tomatoes, Zesty Mixed Herbs, Fire Roasted Red Pepper, Red Hot Chili and Classic Authentic Recipe.
“The Mann Packing Co. team is very excited to partner with Mezete to offer authentic, Eastern Mediterranean products to our customers nationwide,” said Pablo Rivero, VP marketing North America, Fresh Del Monte.
“We believe the Mezete brand coincides with our core values by offering natural, convenient and high-quality products at an affordable price, without added preservatives. This new partnership will help incorporate more delicious, cross-cultural cuisine into our consumers’ daily lives, and we encourage our shoppers to pick up a package at their local 7-Eleven and enjoy today.”
Mezete On the Go Hummus packs in Classic Authentic Recipe and Fire Roasted Red Pepper flavors are available at select 7-Eleven stores in Delaware, the District of Columbia, Florida, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia. Consumers can contact their local 7-Eleven to confirm product availability.
