Rudi’s Rocky Mountain Bakery, known for its selection of organic and gluten-free breads and frozen innovations including Texas Toast and Breakfast Sandwiches, announced the launch of nut-free Sandos made with Rudi’s Signature Country Morning White Bread and Voyage’s Roasted Seed Spread. Available at Whole Food Market nationally beginning in May, Sandos will be offered in two varieties: Grape and Strawberry.
Last year, the portable peanut butter and jelly sandwich market reached almost $900 million in retail sales. A lack of allergen-friendly options within this skyrocketing food category led Rudi’s Mountain Bakery, and Justin Gold, to develop Sandos with Voyage’s help: an on-the-go nut-free sandwich catered to the 1 in 10 adults and 1 in 13 children currently affected by peanut allergies. Offering 9g of protein, Sandos come with Rudi’s soft, fluffy bread, and Voyage’s roasted seed spread, for lunch boxes, after-school-snacks, and protein pick me ups.
As an ingredient supplier, Voyage Foods provides industry manufacturers with supply chain and price stability that lead to significantly better margins. By using upcycled ingredients that are less expensive to source, widely available, and readily scalable, Voyage avoids at-risk commodity ingredients that are often vulnerable to price fluctuations. This results in B2B partners integrating Voyage Foods’ nut-free spreads, cocoa-free chocolate, and bean-free coffee into their products to provide an experience at a fair price.
