RED DUCK FOODS’ NEW LINE OF ORGANIC TACO SAUCES TAKES FLIGHT AT WHOLE FOODS MARKET STORES NATIONWIDE

PORTLAND, ORE. –- September 25, 2018 -- Red Duck Foods, a premier organic condiment company and Certified B Corporation® committed to crafting superior, non-GMO, organic ketchups, BBQ sauces, cocktail sauce and taco sauces, announces the national launch of its new taco sauce line at Whole Foods Market.  The first certified organic, gluten-free and vegan taco sauces to hit the market, Red Duck’s Approachably Mild, Uniquely Korean and Actually Spicy taco sauces are now available at Whole Foods Market stores nationwide.

In this latest product line, Red Duck puts a unique twist on familiar taco sauce favorites. With a keen eye for honest ingredients and nuanced flavors, Red Duck’s artisan products elevate any meal and help to cut time spent in the kitchen. The new taco sauces are sure to turn taco night – or any meal - into a global fiesta!

The Approachably Mild and Actually Spicy Taco Sauces contain no added sugars, making them a popular choice for those on the Whole30 program, keto diet or paleo diet, as well as anyone looking to punch up flavor with less sugar.

“We are excited to expand Red Duck from the Pacific Northwest region to Whole Foods Market stores nationwide,” said Christina Pearson, Global Grocery Category Manager for Whole Foods Market. “Their new taco sauces are made with organic tomatoes from Central California, and we love the unique flavor profiles of each sauce, especially the notes of umami in the Korean Taco Sauce.”

“We are flying high about our taco sauces coming to Whole Foods Market stores nationwide,” said Red Duck Foods co-founder Jess Hilbert. “The response to our newest product line has been so exciting, and we’re thrilled to be able to share our sauces with more people around the country with such a venerable partner like Whole Foods Market.”

Red Duck’s three new organic taco sauces are:

APPROACHABLY MILD - $4.99 msrp
Tasty tomatoes that go from field to puree in less than four hours and lots of citrus create a super bright sauce, with the added depth and earthiness of bell peppers and a touch of sweetness from carrots. This is the taco sauce for kids and those who are faint of heart when it comes to spice.

UNIQUELY KOREAN  - $4.99 msrp
Orange, tomatoes and molasses bring a little sweetness, miso and tamari pack a savory umami punch, and Bird’s eye chili pepper and gochugaru deliver a lasting kick to make this one super complex sauce!

ACTUALLY SPICY  - $4.99 msrp
For those looking for a good kick, this is the spiciest sauce. A pepper trifecta hits your senses at various points to create a spicy story with a beginning, middle and grand finale.

Prior to the Whole Foods Market launch, the trio of clean-ingredient taco sauces became available for purchase online at Red Duck Foods, on Amazon, and at select grocery stores around the country.
