Press Release Summary: The demand for food storage items for use in emergencies, natural disasters, and severe weather has been on a steady increase, and this Utah company is meeting that demand.
Press Release Body: Salt Lake City, Utah - The demand for food storage items is on the increase, and one company has found success retailing food storage products through grocery stores.
"Consumers are concerned about the likelihood that a natural disaster, severe weather, or other emergency may take place. That concern has brought about a high demand for specially packaged foods that can be stored until needed," explained Jeff Augason of Blue Chip Group, Inc.
Recently Blue Chip Group, Inc. began marketing bulk foods that are packaged for long-term storage in the Maceys grocery store chain in Utah. The products have been well received and are selling well, according to Augason.
Most of the products are sold in large number 10 cans that can be used for regular consumption or stored until they are needed. The products range from powdered eggs, to clear gel, and the company's signature product Morning Moos powdered alternative milk product.
"Families like Morning Moos, because kids like the chocolate and orange flavors, as well as regular milk flavor, plus it is less expensive than regular milk. It doesn't taste like the typical powdered milks on the market, so kids like it," explained Augason.
For over 30 years customers traveled to the company offices at 432 West 3440 South in Salt Lake to make their purchases, or purchased through mail order from all across the U.S. and from around the world, according to Augason. Now grocery store sales have enabled the company to grow and add to their existing customer base.
The company also offers a large selection of gluten-free foods, which are in high demand by the many people who cannot eat foods containing gluten.
Gluten-free products currently available include items such as bread, pancake mix, bases, beans, baking powder, ascorbic acid, butter milk powder, butter powder, cheese sauce, chocolate chips, dried milks, flavorings, fruits, lecithin, margin powder, nuggets, oils, pizza, pasta, spice, popcorn, potatoes, raisins, seasonings, shorten powder, and sour cream powder.
"When the only treatment for your condition is to eat gluten-free, your whole world becomes a challenge, and an expense. We do our best to provide foods that taste good, make life easier, and less expensive for those with celiac disease," said Augason.
