GOURMET NEWS MARCH 2015 www.gourmetnews.com WFF WRAP-UP 2 8 Foster's Pickled Products Introduces Redesigned Labels Columbia Valley Family Farms Inc. is ex- cited to announce the unveiling of a newly designed line of labels for its Foster's Pick- led Products. The company's crisp and tangy pickled beans and asparagus were already perfect, so the team at Columbia Valley Family Farms made changes the only place they could: on the outside. Now, both the company's labels and the contents within are equally eye-popping – standing out on store shelves as well as at parties, in salads, drinks, and on dining room tables. Loyal customers in the United States and Canada will see the sleek, newly de- signed label on Foster's Pickled Products in major wholesale chains, retail outlets and road- side stands in 2015. These great pickles have been pleasing customers for over 20 years, and Columbia Valley Family Farms Inc. is looking for- ward to seeing these now-better-looking products distributed for years to come.
