Two Lamb WestonAlexia brand frozen potato products will now use corn and potato starch in their packaging. The biodegradable bags are partially made of potato starches, a byproduct of producing French fries, and will be identified with a label on the front of the package indicating it is partially made from plants.
Alexia Foods, Eagle, Idaho, made over the ordinary potato puff with Alexia Crispy Seasoned Potato Puffs, made with the finest all-natural ingredients and seasoned with a blend of roasted garlic, cracked black pepper, sour cream and chives.
ConAgra Foods, Omaha, Neb., said its CEO Gary Rodkin joined Lamb Weston President Jeff DeLapp, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and others to officially open ConAgra Foods Lamb Weston's new sweet potato processing plant in Delhi, La.
