Hodgson Mill,the US-based manufacturer of whole wheat and gluten-free foods,has begun manufacturing its own line of whole wheat pastas.
For the production of its whole wheat pasta,the company has added 40,000ft2 and installed two Italian-made,fully automated pasta lines.
The company will produce products as spaghetti,linguine and angle hair,lasagna,elbow,penne and spirals.The newly produced pasta will be packaged in a clear,sealed bag inside a box to allow for greater food safety and shelf life.
Hodgson Mill noted that the pasta will be fresher as it moves toward more just-in-time production.
Hodgson Mill president Bob Goldstein said that the new pasta lines are fully automated,which means the company will now be able to offer consumers a consistently superior pasta product.
The company had previously outsourced the production of its whole wheat pastas.
