A STAR IS BORN!

The Fresh Gourmet® Crouton is Featured on the Food Network



What happens when the world's most popular crouton meets one of the world's most popular food shows? You and your customers are about to find out.

The secrets behind the production of the world's most popular crunchy salad topping have been revealed - exposed on UNWRAPPED - one of the Food Network's most watched shows, seen by over 70 million households.

The secrets behind Fresh Gourmet croutons - revealed!
What did the UNWRAPPED segment uncover? That Fresh Gourmet starts with fresh bread - seasoned, toasted, packaged - and ultimately tossed on the most classic salads - for the ultimate in flavor, crunch and satisfaction. During the episode, viewers are given a behind the scenes look at our state of the art Commerce, California facility.

The result?
The Fresh Gourmet brand is now more visible - and compelling - to millions of consumers around the country. Watched by one of the most attractive demographics in television - primarily affluent, educated men and women, 18-45 - UNWRAPPED looks at the fascinating world behind the manufacturing of America's favorite foods.

Other nationally-known brands featured on UNWRAPPED include Tyson Chicken, Chick-fil-A, Chiclets Gum, B&M Baked Beans, Hungry Man, Cape Cod Potato Chips - and more. These are the brands America has come to love - and include in their regular meal planning day in, and day out.

The finishing Touch: UNWRAPPED's Salad Daze Episode
Fresh Gourmet Premium Croutons is a key segment in the "Salad Daze" feature, which focuses on how salads have become a cornerstone of American's culture.
What constitutes a great salad? According to UNWRAPPED - part of the magic is the classic crunch of the perfect Fresh Gourmet crouton.
