Riviana Foods Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Ebro Foods, S.A., has announced that its leading rice brands: Minute®, Carolina®, Mahatma®, Success®, Blue Ribbon®, Comet®, Adolphus®, Gourmet House® and RiceSelect® have earned the Non‐GMO Project Verification on its rice products. This verification is yet another way Riviana is demonstrating its commitment to providing consumers with up-to-date product information and responding to consumer-driven trends.
“Consumers want to know not just what’s in their food but also where it comes from,” said Paul Galvani, Senior Vice President of Marketing of Riviana. “In the future, companies will succeed by having full ingredient transparency, allowing consumers to make informed choices. Brands that are silent on the issue run a risk of losing consumer trust. We are proud to be leading the way in the rice category earning Non-GMO Project Verification,” said Galvani.
Over 175 rice products from Minute, Carolina, Mahatma, Success, Blue Ribbon, Comet, Adolphus, Gourmet House and RiceSelect will carry the new verification seal on the front of the packages, where it is easy to spot. Riviana rice products bearing the Non-GMO Project Verified logo began appearing on grocery shelves across the country in 2016.
