Yorkshire veg and salad supplier Troy Foods has invested £200,000 in launching its own range of mayonnaise for foodservice and retail sectors.

Under the ‘m:a:y:o’ brand, the new range is available in everyday, premium, and free range products in 5 or 10 litre packs.

Troy Foods, know for processing vegetables and dressed salads, established its BRC-approved mayonnaise plant ten years ago.

Following further investment in the line to increase capacity, the company can now supply branded mayonnaise to the cash and carry, foodservice and delivered wholesale sectors.

“Having established a highly efficient, high-care mayonnaise production facility to provide dressings for our range of salads, there was growing demand from customers for us to offer our mayonnaise as a product in its own right,” said general manager, James Kempley.

Troy Foods is based in Leeds on three premises where it employs 600 staff. In recent years, it has diversified into processing value added lines such as dressed salads including coleslaw, potato salads, pasta salads and dips as well as mayonnaise and dressings to retailers and foodservice groups.
