Atlanta, GA; June 14, 2021 – In 2014, Refrigerated Foods Association (RFA)
proclaimed July as National Deli Salad Month. This designation has been officially
recognized and established and each year, throughout the month of July, food
manufacturers promote and feature such summer staples as potato salad, macaroni
salad, dips, chilled desserts, protein salads, ready to eat sandwiches and more.
“Our international association is excited to having set aside a special month to help
consumers purchase convenient, fresh, ready to eat deli salads during the month of
July,” states RFA Membership Chair Wendie DiMatteo Holsinger. “The RFA includes
food manufacturers from across the country and even internationally who are committed
to providing a safe, tasty alternative to made-from-scratch salads. We want to promote
the industry and provide incentives for purchase.”
RFA members celebrate with special contests and promotions, in addition to a
charitable effort to collectively combat hunger in our country. The RFA has partnered
with Feeding America, a national network of food banks, to help solve the problem of
hunger in our nation. Members are encouraged to contribute to the Association’s
month-long donation drive, as well as to donate excess food to their local food banks all
year long.
Look for special promotions in your grocer’s deli department and chilled food areas.
