15

S&S Foods is a community-oriented convenience store with complete services for meat, produce, dairy, frozen items, Western Union money transfers, and the Village Post Office at their Holly Pond and Dodge City locations.

S&S Foods specializes in salvage groceries (Banana Box groceries ), including items nearing expiration or discontinued production, with an experienced team focused on retail and wholesale channels.

Savory & Meaty Flavors

Savory flavors utilize aromas, mouth-feel, spices, and their combination to produce umami (an abundance of flavor) in our food. Umami provides essential sensory experiences that stimulate appetite while satisfying all our senses. S&S Foods’ reaction technology enhances savory flavors by creating traditional ethnic cuisine spice blends and more simple vegetable and sauce flavor profiles that appeal to customers.

Glutamate and monosodium glutamate (MSG) are taste enhancers that add umami flavor to savory foods while being less effective at lowering the salt content of soups. Cairoli et al. discovered that N2-alkyl and N2-acyl derivatives of GMP significantly enhanced the palatability of salted hashes by increasing the sensory impact of MSG.

Doug Sears established S&S Food Broker to represent innovative and satisfying snacks, beverages, and meals to convenience and travel channels. Today, his son Michael oversees their team representing multiple manufacturers across multiple regions – they strive to bring new products to market while building customer loyalty through providing exceptional service and knowledge of their demands.

Sweet & Yummy Flavors

Sauces and syrups often feature sweet components, giving your dishes an extra flavor. These delectable treats make great toppings for cakes, cookies, or other desserts – many even come with spicy or fruity aromas!

S&S Foods is the Malaysian marketing arm of Kai Hong Flavors, founded in China and recognized as one of the top F&B flavor manufacturers with cutting-edge machinery. Their products are produced in Malaysia under Jakim Halal Certification and SGS Food Safety Standards.

They offer over 2000 types of sweet food flavoring, from traditional to exotic. Their food flavors come in liquid and powder form for easy consumption and boast flavors such as banana, blueberry, chocolate, caramel, durian lemon, orange, and vanilla watermelon.

S&S Foods’ concentrated watermelon flavor is made with all-natural ingredients and certified as halal. Use 3.1ml (0.10fl oz) per kg when tasting foods and 0.9ml (0.03fl oz) per liter when flavoring beverages; store at room temperature; shelf life is 24 months from opening date. Dilute as necessary with water until reaching the desired level of sweetness.

Natural Flavors

Natural flavors are an increasingly common component of packaged food and beverages, often mistaken for being better for you due to being derived from plant or animal sources. Unfortunately, this may not always be true; even “natural” flavors may contain chemicals.

Natural flavorings are produced using oils, oleoresins, essences, protein hydrolysates, distillates, and rotates from animals and plants; then combined with various chemicals such as preservatives, solvents, emulsifiers carriers to form the final natural flavor product (1). According to FDA regulations, natural flavors come from either plants or animals, such as fruits, meat, fish, spices, herbs, roots, seeds, nuts, berries, and vegetable bark (2).

Food manufacturers frequently add natural flavors to essential products like granola bars, ice cream, and frozen dinners (Breyers Natural Vanilla included). Although these natural flavors meet FDA safety requirements and comply with safety standards, they do not contain the antioxidants found in whole fruits and vegetables, plus the fatty acids may lead to digestive issues in some people. Therefore, most consumers would be wiser opting for organic options without artificial flavorings if possible; special consideration should also be made regarding food allergies or special diets when purchasing packaged goods from stores.
