Glory Farms "See-Thru" Vegetable Can Named Finalist For Gama Innovation Award

17 Oct 2017 --- Glory Farms vegetables, packaged in a ground-breaking and category-first, "See-Thru" can, and has been named a Packaging Finalist for the 2017 Gama Innovation Awards. Glory Farms is a new brand of canned premium vegetables from McCall Farms, known for its tasty line of high quality, southern-style seasoned canned vegetables and fruits.

"We are honored to be named a finalist for this prestigious Gama Innovation Award," said Woody Swink, Co-President of McCall Farms. "Our new Glory Farms See-Thru can is the most notable packaging innovation in canned vegetables since canning was invented in the early 1800's. When the consumer can see the vegetables it not only says "fresh" but also gives them a sense of trust because they see what they are buying. It's truly, quality you can see." The TruVue™ plastic can was developed in partnership with Sonoco Products, a global packaging leader.

The Gama Innovation Awards recognize outstanding innovation in the Fast Moving Consumer Goods space, with finalists selected by Gama's global network of in-country researchers and analysts. Gama Innovation Director Silvia Ruiz commented, "In putting together the short lists for each category we analyzed hundreds of products from over 40 countries, selecting only the ground-breaking few for consideration." The overall winner in each category of the Gama Innovation Awards, as voted by an international panel of prestigious industry judges, will be announced in a ceremony to take place in Manchester, United Kingdom at Manchester's Bridgewater Hall.

"Clear cans give a new meaning to transparency in the preserved vegetable category," writes the Gama Innovation Awards team. "The Glory Farms 'clear can' technology could allow canned foods to compete on a more equal footing with non-preserved alternatives in perceptions of freshness, quality, nutritional benefits and flavor." Glory Farms uses only premium vegetables that are slow-cooked at lower temperatures to lock-in their flavors. A new pop-top lid adds convenience for preparing delicious meals and side dishes. Varieties include: Garbanzo Beans, Pinto Beans, Green Lima Beans, Light Red Kidney Beans, Dark Red Kidney Beans, Great Northern Beans and Blackeye Peas.
