Major launches tomato-free gravy range

Following in-depth research and market-led discussions, Major is delighted to launch its new and improved vitamin D gravy recipe – now completely tomato-free!


Major remains committed to researching and developing new products that can serve up a plate of goodness and joy to all. After launching the first gravy fortified with Vitamin D on the market in 2022, the food manufacturer is delighted to announce its new and improved recipe that is completely tomato-free.

Packed with the same great taste, the updated recipes remain completely allergen-free and suitable for all dietary requirements - offering a choice of poultry and meat flavours. Although it may seem like a small change, Major believes removing tomatoes will have a significant impact.
 
Speaking of the launch of the new and improved vitamin D recipe, Paul Saunders, Marketing Manager at Major says: “All our products are led by market insights. By listening to our customers – particularly those in the public sector – we have made the proactive choice to update one of our most popular gravy products, and we’re really pleased with the result.
 
“Caterers are under huge pressure to provide both safe and delicious meals. As a food manufacturer, it’s our role to help them deliver such dishes. Gravy is an incredibly versatile product that can add so much warmth, enjoyment, and flavour to a dish. By removing tomato from the ingredients, our updated recipe has made this even easier to achieve.

“When it comes to recipe development there is always a balance to be struck, but at Major our bottom line is that we believe quality meals should be enjoyed by all without limitations or compromise. Our new vitamin D gravy recipe offers the same great taste, rich flavour, and health benefits which can be poured over any meal. Completely allergen-free, this range remains suitable for plant-based diets and can offer everyone a healthy dose of vitamin D with every serving.”

With a yield of 25L per pack and stored in resealable tubs, the updated gravy range is equally suited to high output foodservice operations as it is to smaller commercial kitchens serving gravy in batches. By simply adding to boiling water or roast pan juices and whisking for 30 seconds, chefs can serve a consistent, quality gravy with a rich and balanced flavour.
Vitamin D is proven to be key to supporting the body’s immune system as well as keeping bones, teeth and muscles healthy.
