Wixon Foodservice Group Offers ‘Back of the House’ Freshness
01 Aug 2014 --- Wixon Inc. announced its new campaign for the Wixon Foodservice Group, including updated sales collateral, a refined website, a new logo and tagline, “Fresh from the Beginning,” and unique menu solutions to drive ‘back of the house’ freshness for its customers’ business.
“Fresh from the Beginning,” the Wixon Foodservice Group can help create on-trend and authentic food flavors that customers demand. Wixon’s sprawling campus houses the state-of-the-art Innovation Center, featuring culinary expertise and backed with deep experience from talented flavor chemists, meat scientists, food technologists and chefs.
Wixon’s spices are sourced fresh from ‘farm to plate,’ selected from its exclusive list of trusted and reliable farmers worldwide. Wixon employees actually walk the fields and hand-pick spices dried in the sun. In addition, all suppliers are audited and evaluated on a quarterly basis.
As a FSSC 22000-certified company, Wixon screens, de-stones, cleans and uses a variety of microbial reduction treatments on all incoming ingredients to ensure microbial contaminants are eliminated. Throughout production and processing, random tests are conducted to maintain product profiles and verify purity, weight, color, viscosity, flavor, texture, and chemical composition.
