SALINAS, Calif. - Jan. 11, 2010 - Mann Packing is supporting its sales program this winter with multiple promotions in January and February.

The company kicked off the year with a Real California Cheese promotion that features an instant redeemable offer of $0.55 off any package of Real California Cheese with the purchase of Mann's fresh-cut vegetable products. The coupons will be applied the entire month of January, and the beginning of February.

In February, the company is working with Litehouse FoodsÆ to offer shoppers $1 off any Litehouse salad dressing with the purchase of Mann's Broccolini®. The IRC includes a recipe for Szechwan Broccolini® & Beef, to leverage Chinese New Year sales. This is one of three cross promotions with Litehouse Foods® scheduled for 2010.

Also in February, 100,000 instant redeemable coupons for $0.55 off Mann's Broccoli Wokly® will be applied to select Mountain King Potato products.
