We have started sourcing Fresh Eggs that are available to ALL Metro and West Agencies. This will continue for several months as long as funding lasts! Look for Product 61401 - Other Protein, Eggs in the Order Entry section. If your organization needs more eggs than are available to you through the 61401 code, look for the identical product for Purchase (Product #91050 ).

We've seen similar products before, but now they're brought to you with some recognizable, name-brand labels. We've heard from some partners that access to name-brand products is an important factor in serving your shoppers in the most responsive way, so we wanted to highlight a couple items for you. 

Chef Boyardee Spaghetti w/Meatballs:  

Swanson's Chicken Broth: 

60445 Condiment, Broth, Chicken, 24/14.5 oz. Dry 24/14.5 oz.Swanson Chicken Broth, 24 cans per case

We've long had peanut butter available online to order, but rarely have jelly. Jelly often comes in glass jars, which makes it dangerous to handle, but we found a source for jelly in a plastic squeeze tube. Extra bonus- low sugar, with no high fructose corn syrup. Jelly flavor will either be strawberry or grape.

Case count is 12 containers per case. 

Rarely seen Tortillas are available now online to order!

They can be found under code: 23010- Bread/Tortillas : 8 inch "Baja style" flour tortillas.  

12 tortillas per package, 12 packages per case.  Expiration date on or near Feb 05.

We've listened to your requests to add some new staples and culturally specific foods to our offerings and the first of those items will be available online to order soon at no cost to you. 

New Items are: 

Vienna Sausage           Frozen Broccoli Florets       White Granulated Sugar

In addition to the Torti Masa (Harina de Maíz) that we've offered on order for a couple of years, we are now also offering Maseca Tamal, which is a coarser grind and is more commonly used for tamales. Tamales are an important party of many Latinx holiday celebrations, so consider offering one or both types of masa at your site. And if folks prefer one over the other, please let us know!

Alternate Flour (Product Ref# 08040) is almost always one of 3 products - Rice Flour, Sorghum Flour or Almond Flour and always non-wheat based. Wheat-based flours will be put into Product Ref# 02750. 

Alternate Flours are a great-choice for our gluten-free friends and some specialty cooking and baking. Important Food Safety note- we are not a certified Gluten-Free facility, so items should not be advertised as Gluten Free for those with severe allergies.

We still have an abundance of frozen USDA liquid eggs (82056 - Other Protein, EGGS WHOLE FRZ CTN - 12/2LB) on hand in the warehouse, and we're asking for your help in keeping this product moving.
