Del Monte Gut Love and Boost Me Fruit Infusions are the company's latest products to be upcycled certified
Furthering its focus on reducing food waste, and in support of its commitment to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, Del Monte Foods, Inc. announced that two more of its products — Del Monte® Gut Love and Boost Me Fruit Infusions — have been Upcycled Certified™ by the Upcycled Food Association, a third-party certification program for upcycled food ingredients and products. Through these two products, Del Monte Foods is re-directing approximately 130,000 pounds of pineapple juice each year, helping to provide nutritious and affordable food, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Last year Del Monte Foods announced the industry's first canned vegetable product to be Upcycled Certified™ by the Upcycled Food Association. The company's Del Monte® Blue Lake® Petite Cut and Blue Lake® Farmhouse Cut Green Bean products are 100% upcycled and sustainably grown green beans from Wisconsin and Illinois.
