FoodStory Brands boasts decades-long relationships
with some protein suppliers. And when they
are looking for partners to help create new
products, they are eyeing producers with similar
passions for innovation.
"Almost every single week we will be in a new plant,
looking at what's new, what's innovating," Jedeikin
said. "We are just trying to be a hand-in-hand partner
with these suppliers who have incredible capabilities."
Jedeikin noted Oberto Snacks, a company working on
meat snacks for the "Yellowstone" line and John Soules
Foods who produces many of the chicken products,
as an example of partners the company is looking to
collaborate with.
"They have a strong passion around innovation
related to product development and they're willing
to kind of ideate alongside us and that's where the
magic is. It is pairing our ability to create great stories
alongside our supplier partners' ability to create best in
class products."
