Red Flags – Get the scoop on shortages

Short Ship Sparks Notes

• POMEGRANATES (code 3100) - Experiencing a gap for the next 3 weeks.

• CORN FROZEN (code 7473) - Delayed containers from the vendors caused this gap. We should be back in stock with no more shortages as of today!

• PAPAYA GREEN (code 3913) - We're currently out of green papaya due to a production gap, and we don't have an estimated restock date just yet.

• POTATO BAKER (code 3913) - Great news! We're restocked and ready for you. Just a heads-up: Canadian Russets will be unavailable for about a month. But don't worry, we're switching over to fresh new crop USA russets this weekend!

• AVOCADOS - July can be a bit unpredictable for avocados, but it looks like we're back on track! Some of them have green skin, but they're perfectly ripe and ready to enjoy.

🍄Fable Pulled Mushrooms are the SHIIT..ake🍄

Last week, our sales team met with the wonderful folks from Fable to discuss meat alternatives and mushrooms. Typically, we tend to pass on overly processed veggie burgers and opt for the real deal when dining out, but Fable had us shocked. Greg exclaimed, “Sorry… this is pulled shiitakes?!” Ezio’s jaw dropped, and Jorge nearly cried tears of joy for his vegetarian friends.

If you’re thinking to yourself, my customers would EAT THIS UP. You can find these frozen packs online under code 10631.

🌟Still skeptical? We get it… we had to try it to believe it, so we want to give you this opportunity too! Email your rep to schedule a demo and we will swing by with SAMPLES to fry up for you and your team to try.🌟
