Chef Bongo Production Schedule Update

PRODUCTION SCHEDULE UPDATE

Bongo Hospitality and Bongo Foods are excited to launch our new custom branded soup pouches for our signature African Peanut Soup. These pouches are freezable, resealable, and fully recyclable, making them convenient and eco-friendly. You can also see the vibrant orange colour and creamy texture of the soup through a clear window on the pouch. The pouches have a matte finish that feels soft and provides a good grip (especially with wet hands). We have also updated the nutritional information on the pouches to reflect the latest standards.

To celebrate this milestone, we have prepared a special production and delivery schedule for Q4, as well as some exciting events for our loyal customers and supporters. Here is what we have planned for the next few weeks:

• October 23 (Monday):
