Tell us, how long have you been working at Classic Foods and what is your favorite part of your job? I have been with Classic Foods for 8 months now. It is easy to come to work here with such great people. I couldn’t ask for better coworkers. Now that you have told us your favorite part of you job, what is the most difficult part of your job? In traffic management, I have to say that depending on delivery services can be difficult. Since I unfortunately can not control the weather, appointment scheduling, or fuel prices, arranging deliveries can be a little stressful at times. As the summer of 2008 has just come to an end, what was your favorite memory? And what will you miss the most? Fourth of July was a very fun day for me. I spent the day with my husband and our two boys. We relaxed and swam at the beach, had a barbecue dinner, and watched fireworks. I will definitely miss the warm weather the most. I am not a fan of the colder temps or the rain. Fall is here and a new school year is underway. What does this mean for you as a mom? My youngest son is starting kindergarten this year and he is very excited. I am slowly adjusting to the idea of him growing up to be a big boy instead of my little baby. Tell us one thing about being a mom that makes you smile each time? (and yes…only one Children say and do all sorts of hilarious things. One of the best experiences for me is watching the reaction on their faces when they are excited. Watching a child laugh is the most infection thing and it is truly heart warming. 
Classic Foods new Research and Development facility, located at the Southern California Operations facility, is only 2 months away from completion! The construction phase has been finalized and we just received approval from the Orange County Health Department. The facility will feature all the equipment necessary for testing new all-natural products and most importantly, run small marketing tests before they are sent to the plants for mass production. Some of the equipment is revolutionary and will include many different types of ovens, extruders, flavor applicators and packaging machines. Our Product Development Manager, Gennie Kyu, will have the space, resources and staff to experiment with all kinds of unique flavors. Equipment continues to arrive everyday and hiring has just begun. In the end, this new R&D facility, with over $2,000,000 in building improvements and equipment, will allow us to turn our ideas into something we can touch, smell and most importantly ... taste! Start date is October 1st, but you can stay updated by visiting classicfoods.com .  |

This new line is certified organic by the USDA and Quality Assurance International and cooked under Kosher conditions. These tortilla chips are made from yellow corn and proudly stamped with the 100% Whole Grain symbol, meaning that the cooking process starts with the complete corn kernel instead of the powder or flour. Inspired by the Aztecs, the kernels are then stone ground, which is what gives it that extra flavor and natural texture. Stoned Classics® Organic will be available in 7oz retail packaging that took a year to perfect the design and it came out absolutely dazzling, as you can see for yourself. Husks of corn wrap around the bag in earth tone colors. Each flavor has their own distinctive stripe of color down the middle with a window to display the delicious tortilla chips inside. If you would like to be the one of the first to try a taste of our new organic line, email lcrow@classicfoods.com to find out how to get a sample bag with a FREE gift (while supplies lasts). Otherwise, it will soon be available for purchase and keep checking our Shop Online page.
