Dunya Harvest to Showcase New Canning Facility at Expo West with Organic Canned Bean Line

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Dunya Harvest’s entire selection of organic and conventional pantry staples and canned options will be featured at upcoming expo

ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, MARCH 7, 2017 - The team at Shah Trading Company is pleased to announce that their brand, Dunya Harvest, will be featured for the very first time at the upcoming Expo West show, booth M514 in the Marriott Hot Products section from March 9-11, 2017.

Dunya Harvest

Shah Trading Company has been a family-owned and operated company for more than forty years, offering a premier selection of ethnic and natural foods across Canada. The company has become known as the country’s leading ethnic food distributor, and now, Shah Trading Company’s Dunya Harvest is offering a selection of high quality natural and organic foods.


Dunya Harvest also recently announced that they have become a fully accredited canning plant. Now, the company is able to easily can their own products and create private label items. A recently published video gives viewers a virtual tour of Dunya Harvest’s canning facility.

Among the benefits of the new canning facility includes the creation of low sodium products with BPA-free liners. According to Shah Trading Company’s VP of Business Development, “Consumers tend to shy away from canned beans because of perceived sodium levels or the idea that canned beans are 'processed.' But the canned bean industry has come a long way, our lining is BPA-free and our beans are low sodium and 100% natural. They only contain three ingredients: the bean, water and sea salt.”

“We are targeting busy young families who manage hectic schedules but want healthier choices for their meals. Our canned bean line is the perfect pantry item: healthy, nutritious, versatile, cost-conscious, and ready-to-eat,” said Shah.

Dunya Harvest’s processes are handled completely in house, which means a significant reduction in production costs that is passed down to retailers and ultimately consumers. “Our products come in raw material straight from the farmer to our warehouse and are cleaned, cooked, canned, packed and shipped directly from our warehouse. We test and sample every batch we cook in house, controlling the process from start to finish,” said Shah.

The team at Dunya Harvest is excited to showcase their products at the upcoming Expo West show, Booth M514 in the Marriott Hot Products section, which will feature leading natural products. There, they will give attendees a look at their lines of organic and conventional products, which include steel-cut oats, freekeh, amaranth, pearl couscous, various quinoa, canned organics, organic beans, and more.

Dunya Harvest is now accepting clients who would like to create their own private label brands. Details are available at https://www.dunyaharvest.com/.
