According to Knouse Foods’ proprietary research of more than 300 foodservice professionals, 30 percent of operators aim to purchase foods that contain pure cane sugar.

As part of its commitment to offering better-for-you options for culinary professionals’ menus, Knouse Foodservice is launching four new product lines, under the Musselman’s and Lucky Leaf brands, made with pure cane sugar. Now available, the reformulated product lines are: Musselman’s Premium Apple Butter, Musselman’s Premium Blend Apple Sauce, Musselman’s Premium Apple Juice and Lucky Leaf Premium Fruit Fillings. All four products lines contain no high-fructose corn syrup or artificial flavors and are free of GMOs, fat, gluten and dairy.
