05/10/19 -Baltic Brand Marinade
As you may or may not know, we have had production problems with our bottled marinades/dips hence the delay in having them available. We are now looking into packaging them in dry form with the consumer blending them as they wish. This is similar to various dressings and other dry marinades on the market. We have found that if the directions are followed, ours will become exactly the same rich, tasty products you are accustomed to. And as in the past, they will continue to be MSG, gluten, lactose free, and now will also be HFCS-free. We also have formulated a tasty new recipe for fish and other seafood which we're very excited about.
Beta Testing: All of our new dry marinades/dips are now being beta tested and so far we're seeing very positive results. We will keep you informed as to our progress.
THANK YOU!
07/4/18 - Okay Baltic Brand Marinade Fans, Big News!
We have finally selected a new private label manufacturer/bottler located in Wisconsin. We are talking to them about refining our "secret" recipe so as not to include high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), which has been the only push-back we have encountered. Soon their test kitchen will provide us with samples and once approved… we'll be good to go.
This whole process is like starting from scratch as we will have a slightly revised recipe, perhaps a redesigned label and conceivably a different style container (glass, plastic, pouch...?) Other than that, they will be the same tasty Baltic Brand marinades you love… only better.
All these changes take time, so we hope to have product ready by autumn 2018. We will then proceed with scheduled talks with a large retailer in Chicago and then with a national distributor. We also anticipate our products being available through Amazon, as well.
We realize it's been a long dry spell since we last had product, but we would rather do it right; so it looks like we finally have all our (marinated) ducks in a row and we're off and running.
Thank you for your patience, support and encouragement. It means the world to us.
02/14/17 - DEAK Foods, Inc. is currently in talks with a major national distributor and it is our hope to have Baltic Brand Marinades in stores in the Chicago area by summer of 2017. And following that, hopefully nation-wide (baby steps first). In addition, we have nearly reached our goal of a third flavor, one for seafood, and will hopefully have that available by mid-2017, if all goes well. We are also hoping to have on-line shopping available soon as well.
