Umpqua Oats Launches Maple Pecan Super-Premium Oatmeal at Summer Fancy Food Show

Classic Breakfast Flavor Gets Farm-to-Cup Twist, On-the-Go Convenience


LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - Jun 29, 2015) -  Umpqua Oats Inc., an innovative manufacturer of single-serve super premium oatmeal, launched a farm-to-cup classic, Maple Pecan, at today's Fancy Food Show in New York City. Umpqua Oats' Maple Pecan warm oatmeal cup includes a delicious mixture of custom-milled rolled oats, crunchy pecans, pure maple syrup and other all-natural ingredients to create a delicious and satisfying meal.

"Maple and pecan are two of the most highly sought-after oatmeal flavors -- they're classics, but not all oatmeal is the same," said Sheri Price, co-founder of Umpqua Oats. "Umpqua Oats' Maple Pecan blends the perfect combination of warm maple syrup with the nuttiness of pecans for a healthy and delicious, non-GMO and gluten-free oatmeal that's ready at a moment's notice. It's a whole meal solution that tastes like home, no matter where you go."

In developing Maple Pecan, Umpqua Oats stayed true to its farm-to-cup mentality when sourcing ingredients. The pure maple syrup was specifically selected from Coombs Family Farms in New England. The new flavor also has 7 grams of protein and is less than 300 calories.

The newest flavor combination for Umpqua Oats also meets consumers' desire for oatmeal they can have as a snack, or meal, any time of day and with minimal preparation. Just three minutes after hot water is added, the oatmeal is ready to be stirred and enjoyed.

Umpqua Oats' portfolio of seven flavorful on-the-go super premium oatmeal cups are available in more than 2,000 retail outlets across the United States, with a heavy concentration in Western states and expanding distribution in the East. The company anticipates Maple Pecan to be available nationwide and online this fall. For more information or to order online, visit www.umpquaoats.com
