E.T.
Horn Company Selected By White Oak Frozen Foods
as
Exclusive Broker in Western States
La
Mirada, CA – April 15, 2004 -
The E.T. Horn Company, a leading distributor/supplier
of food ingredients and specialty chemicals,
today announced that it has entered into an
agreement with White
Oak Frozen Foods to represent its line of
Reduced Moisture™ vegetables throughout
the western United States.
White
Oak’s reduced moisture IQF (Individual
Quick Freeze) vegetables are Certified Pathogen
Free and are used in industrial food manufacturing
and foodservice applications. Reduced moisture
vegetables are produced using a combined technology
of dehydration and freezing that can eliminate
up to 50% of the initial moisture of the fresh
vegetable. This process improves the vegetable
color, flavor, texture, reduces clumping and
eliminates syneresis typically found in conventional
IQF vegetables.
E.T.
Horn will represent the entire White Oak IQF
vegetable product line including: sweet green
jalapenos, vine ripened tomatoes, mild green
chilies, red and green bell peppers, zucchini,
celery, sweet onions, broccoli florets, and
a no-skin tomato dice.
“We
at White Oak are thrilled to have the E.T. Horn
Company represent us to the food industry on
the West Coast,” said White Oak President,
Harold "Arch" Archibald. “E.T.
Horn’s outstanding reputation and attention
to detail is a valuable complement to our growing
product line,” Archibald concluded.
“The
addition of White Oak Frozen Foods to the E.T.
Horn family of products is a great development
for our clients," commented Lisa
Alley-Zarkades, E.T. Horn FoodTech Group
Vice President of Sales. “White Oak’s
reduced moisture vegetables combined with E.T.
Horn’s hands-on technical sales expertise
will allow food producers to develop new and
better products, and provide a greater value
to their customers,” Alley-Zarkades continued.
