November 14, 2011

UFood Restaurant Group Inc. has announced it is testing a line of four new Naan flatbread sandwich menu items. UFood is simultaneously conducting customer surveys to gauge satisfaction with taste, value and quality.

The Naan flatbread sandwich items will be offered for a limited time and the four varieties include:    

1. Chipotle Chicken: Grilled chicken breast with lite jalapeno jack cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, pickles, lite chipotle mayo on naan flatbread;
2. Fresh Falafel: falafel, tomato and tamarind chutney, fresh cucumbers, yogurt, and fresh cilantro on naan flatbread;
3. Mighty Chicken: grilled chicken breast, organic greens, almonds, lite mayo, lite Caesar dressing on naan flatbread; and
4. Fire-Roasted Turkey and Swiss: sliced turkey, lite swiss, organic greens, tomatoes, cranberry chutney, lite mayo on naan flatbread    

The price of each sandwich ranges from $5.99 to $6.99. Naan was named as one of 11 Hot New Food Trends by MSN and is most-known in the U.S. as being served at Indian restaurants. UFood's goals are to continue its commitment to delivering the highest quality and best tasting menu offerings to its customers while also improving product margins in the face of increasing wholesale food prices.

"This new line is on-trend and is exactly the type of food that our health-conscious, flavor-craving customers are seeking," said UFood CEO George Naddaff. "We will continue to bring innovation to our product line to respond to their tastes while maintaining our commitment to nutrition."
