Maintaining the tradition of excellence it first established over 100 years ago continues to be an important priority for Bumble Bee Seafoods. From the company’s origins with seven fishermen who banded together to found the business in Astoria, Oregon in 1899, to its position today as one of North America’s top branded seafood and protein food companies, Bumble Bee is recognized as an industry leader in quality and innovation. As a testament to the quality and value of the Bumble Bee brand, many of the company’s products proudly bear the OU symbol. This year, Bumble Bee is honoring Passover with a special limited-edition Kosher for Passover Prime Fillet Solid White Albacore. Bumble Bee Prime Fillet is a superior tuna product consisting of the finest grade of hand-selected solid white albacore packed only in water. Prime Fillet is Bumble Bee’s premium label and the line of Prime Fillet products is the highest quality selection produced by the company. While all Bumble Bee canned tuna
carries the OU symbol, this special limited run of Bumble Bee Prime Fillet has been processed under the direct supervision of the Orthodox Union to meet the special standards of Jewish dietary law relating to Passover. This premium product is packaged with a unique high gloss gold-foil label that makes it a stand-out on grocery shelves. The label carries the OUP symbol, as well as graphic bursts on the top and sides, informing consumers that the product is Kosher for Passover. It will be available beginning February 28, 2005 in a 24-pack case, as well as a 72-unit display stand, featuring special Kosher for Passover header signage on top. Bumble Bee President and Chief Executive Officer Christopher Lischewski declared:“At Bumble Bee,we’re proud of our long-standing relationship with the OU, and that our products carry the OU’s symbol as an important measure of quality. We’re also delighted to be able to work with the OU in providing high quality kosher products to our consumers such as our Prime Fillet Kosher for Passover Solid White Albacore.”
