Fresh Summit Contest Spotlights Healthy Eating For Kids

Students from the Walker Junior High School in La Palma, California, will put 10 produce-centric recipes to the test at the 4th annual PMA Fresh Summit Sensory Experience Contest this coming Friday, Oct. 17.

The contest, sponsored by Bolthouse Farms and supported by Disney Consumer Products, features the top 10 recipes submitted by exhibitors. They will be judged by the students and 15 buyers from companies including Delhaize America, Pro*Act and Supervalu.

“Inspiring children to eat more fresh produce can take many shapes,” says Todd Putman, chief commercial officer for Bolthouse Farms. “Whether it’s traditional marketing like the ‘eat brighter!’ movement, or through engagement in contests like this one, it’s our responsibility as an industry to engage tomorrow’s leaders in efforts that lead to a healthier lifestyle.”
