Furthering its focus on reducing food waste, and in support of its commitment to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, Del Monte Foods announced two more of its products, Del Monte Gut Love and Boost Me Fruit Infusions, have been Upcycled Certified by the Upcycled Food Association, the world’s only third-party certification program for upcycled food ingredients and products. Through these two products, Del Monte Foods is re-directing approximately 130,000 pounds of pineapple juice each year, helping to provide nutritious and affordable food, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Last year Del Monte Foods announced the industry’s first canned vegetable product to be Upcycled Certified™ by the Upcycled Food Association.
“As Growers of Good, Del Monte Foods is focused on producing nutritious food while also protecting the health of our planet,” said Greg Longstreet, Pres. & CEO, Del Monte Foods. “The food industry has a huge opportunity to reduce food waste and Del Monte Foods is committed to playing a leadership role through our focus on upcycling.”
