O’dang ™, MAKER OF AMERICA’S FAVORITE PREMIUM HUMMUS DRESSINGS, EXPANDS INTO THE VEGAN MAYO CATEGORY, ROLLING INTO PUBLIX SUPER MARKET JUNE 2020

O’dang, maker of premium hummus dressing, introduces brand refresh under the new company name: O’dang Foods. The brand’s e-commerce platform debuts a refreshed look along with the expanded flavor collection officially available as of June 1, 2020. The exciting, elevated and eye-catching packaging matches the bold flavor profiles of the brand’s unique personality and also displays the ingredients visually to clearly inform consumers. This branding evolution positions O’dang Foods for expansion beyond hummus dressings, with the first new product line extension to be announced in the coming weeks.

“We are thrilled to introduce refreshed O’dang branding, consisting of a fresh and lively new color palette and an aesthetic to match the unique and bold flavors of the O’dang brand. We have spent time updating and perfecting the flavor offerings to bring the consumer a plant-based, low-calorie good-for-you dressing collection like no other in the market.” – Jerry Bello, Co-Founder & Managing Partner, Keen Growth Capital

In coordination with the relaunch, the brand also celebrates two brand new flavor offerings, Classic Mediterranean and Balsamic Feta, being introduced first to market at Walmart stores nationwide. The all-natural, low calorie O’dang plant-based dressing line, with both Vegan and Vegetarian options, will now offer a full line up of eight flavors: Garden Herb Ranch, Greek Tzatziki, Lemon Caesar, Roasted Red Pepper, Southwest Ranch and Honey Mustard, in addition to the new flavors Classic Mediterranean and Balsamic Feta, priced at $4.99 per 12oz bottle. The complete line of low sodium, clean label dressings, are also available for purchase on the brand’s refreshed e-commerce website, (https://www.odangfoods.com)

The growing interest in Mediterranean cuisine and popularity of the Mediterranean diet inspired the expanded flavor offerings. Classic Mediterranean offers a healthy staple consisting of flavors like garlic, tahini and extra virgin olive oil. Balsamic Feta has sharp balsamic notes combined with creamy feta for a memorable eating experience filled with delightfully contrasting flavors.

“The addition of two new flavors to the O’dang dressing line comes at a perfect time as we re-stage the brand with impactful graphics and product improvements via enhanced flavor and texture. A delicious consumer experience and better-for-you attributes are key tenets of O’dang Foods and our new Balsamic Feta and Classic Mediterranean varieties build on that mission.” – Eric Hintz, CEO, O’dang Foods

The goal of O’dang Foods is to improve and evolve existing food product categories available by creating better-for-you, hummus-based products that offer exciting flavor experiences while maintaining a healthful nutritional profile. The new and improved formulation that accompanies the brand refresh allows for a smoother, creamier dressing texture as well as an even bolder taste profile..
