“Our Cutting Edge Solutions platform helps our customers stay on-trend and ahead of the competition with new and innovative offerings for dine-in, takeout or delivery while also providing labor saving solutions to support their success in today’s environment,” says Judy Sansone, Sysco’s executive vice president and chief commercial officer.

The Fall 2021 Cutting Edge Solutions products are now available and include:

INNOVATIVE AND TAKEOUT FRIENDLY

Sysco Classic Tamper Evident Fry Containers ensure that your food will arrive in the same condition it left. Perfect for takeout and delivery, these containers feature a cross-ventilation system that helps fried foods stay fresh, crispy, and delicious.

Moisture removing freshness pack, SAVRpak, rapidly removes and traps water condensation from to-go packaging, keeping food crisp and ready to eat. Utilizing the laws of thermodynamics, SAVRpak preserves the integrity of the food keeping it fresher and crisper longer, working great on hot and cold foods, freshly cut fruits, entrée salads, vegetables, burger buns, French fries, pizza, and more.

LABOR SAVINGS

Sysco’s Classic Sous-Vide Sirloin Steak is made from USDA Choice grade beef. This sous-vide product innovation ensures a perfectly cooked steak every time, and helps operators save on labor while delivering a consistent, quality meal experience to their patrons. Sysco Classic Sous-Vide Sirloin Steak allows any foodservice operator to serve steakhouse quality steaks.

COMFORT FOODS 

Sysco’s Imperial Mashup Desserts are a fun, creamy and delicious, thaw-and serve cheesecake that will turn dessert into an experiential occasion with mashups of some favorite flavors, including cotton candy, lemon poppy and apple caramel. These innovative desserts will create Instagram-worthy moments while satisfying patrons’ craving for a bit of sweet nostalgia.

ON-TREND PLANT-BASED INGREDIENTS

Sysco Simply Plant-Based Cauliflower Tortillas are great-tasting, gluten-free, vegan tortillas/wraps free of egg, dairy, and soy. They perform like traditional tortillas and are an excellent alternative for those customers who want to eliminate or limit gluten in their diet.

With a hearty-but-smooth texture, Sysco Simply Plant-Based Sprouted Hamburger Buns are a better-for-you blank canvas for burgers, breakfast sandwiches, bunwiches, and more.

Sysco’s Simply Plant-Based Protein is made of a superfood blend of oats (Pulled Oats™), beans and peas. This versatile and unique, ready-to-prepare plant-based protein ingredient easily replaces meat in any dish.
