Since starting out in January, the company has won business with 6,000 retailers across the US and has expanded its range to both the freezer and bakery aisles.
“After the overwhelmingly positive response to My/Mo Mochi Ice Cream, we are excited to expand our offerings with the launch of My/Mo Ice Cream with Mochi Bits,” said chief marketing officer Russell Barnett. “As our brand’s vision is to bring the snackability of mochi ice cream to the masses, this was a natural progression and delivers another way for consumers to chew their ice cream.”

Allied Bakeries brand Allinson’s launches artisanal-style loaves

Allinson’s said the loaves are “cut and dressed by hand” and suggests they “provide the best bread experience within the wrapped bread segment, bridging the gap between in-store bakery whilst providing the shelf life of wrapped bread”.

The Black Farmer launches antibiotic-free pork products
The Black Farmer, a UK-based business best known for its sausages, has launched a range of pork products using meat raised without antibiotics.
The Devon company says it has worked closely with partner farms to establish farming and production methods in response to the rising resistance to antibiotics. It claims these are the first such products to be made available in major UK supermarkets.
The range comprises shoulder joint, fillet medallions, loin steaks, loin chops, belly joint and belly slices.
Business owner Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones said: “I believe that there are a growing number of consumers who prefer not to be consuming meat raised with antibiotics, just as there are consumers who prefer their meat to be reared to organic standards or within RSPCA Approved guidelines.”
The RRP per kg ranges from GBP8.49 (US$11.36) for the shoulder joint to GBP12.99 for the loin steaks.
