Mrs. Renfro's Pineapple Salsa Recognized for Product Excellence at the 2010 Scovie
Awards
FORT WORTH, Texas (November 12, 2009) -- Mrs. Renfro's Pineapple Salsa, made by
Renfro Foods in Fort Worth, Texas, took top honors in the Processed Salsa-Fruit
category, at the 2010 Scovie Awards, the world's leading recognition for hot and
spicy products.
In one of the industry's most rigorous blind tastings, a panel of the country's
top culinary experts sampled more than 600 of the world's most lauded gourmet foods
from 32 states, countries and provinces.
"This is a great honor for us," said Renfro Foods president Doug Renfro. "It is
truly exciting to see one of our newest specialty salsas recognized at this highest
level. It brings our company great pleasure and satisfaction to create products
that are delicious, healthy and affordable all at the same time."
Mrs. Renfro's Pineapple Salsa is part of a trio of new flavors launched this summer
that also included Pomegranate Salsa and Tequila Salsa.
The Scovie Awards were created by Dave DeWitt, a leading author on fiery cuisine
and founder of the National Fiery Foods & Barbecue Show. Named for Wilbur Scoville
who pioneered a rating scale for spicy foods, the Scovie Awards have become the
industry standard for excellence in more than 60 categories of fiery foods.
