De West Wind USA has introduced a new brand of canned foods into the Nigerian market through its subsidiary, Teruke Foods International.
Speaking on the development, the President/Chairman, De West Wind USA, Jim Omaraye, the brains behind ride sharing app, De West Wind, which made its Nigerian debut some months back said: “Teruke Foods is produced by Teruke International, a subsidiary of De West Wind USA. Teruke Foods are popular Nigerian dishes prepared and packaged as canned foods in the most hygienic environments and without preservatives for the enjoyment of your favourite Nigerian dishes. They are all made with predominantly cow meat and I am glad to inform Nigerians that we are already in the market.
“Teruke Foods is for everybody including busy executives and students in hostels as most universities have prohibited students from cooking in the hostels. Teruke Foods offers a cheap alternative to the challenges of cooking everyday. Parents can just buy cartons of Teruke Foods for their children in schools like our ogbono soup, pepper soup and stew and ship to them and all they need do is micro wave it, make eba and eat. Today, the world has changed and both wife and husband go to work in the morning and on the way back they get stuck in traffic and don’t have time to cook dinner so this is going to help a lot of families.”
According to him, all ingredients are locally sourced and the soups are prepared and packaged in traditional setting by experienced and seasoned chefs in a clean and hygienic environment.
He added: “Our ingredients are farm fresh. Our factory is located at Mowe, Ibafon, Lagos/Ibadan Expressway and our administrative office is located at Ogba, Lagos. We have the capacity to roll out over 5000 cans a day and all our soups are 100 preservative free and very healthy. We just got approval for three of our soups from NAFDAC. They are stew, ogbono and pepper soups.”
