BATH — Gagne Foods, a frozen foods manufacturer specializing in biscuits, pastries and pie doughs, joined Prepared Foods in Palm Beach, Fla., for the annual New Products Conference, where their Double Chocolate Biscuit took second place for the Excellence in Innovation (EII) for Foodservice Awards.

Sponsored by Prepared Foods and the American Egg Board, the EII awards present a unique opportunity for companies and their product development teams to be acknowledged for the innovation used to design and launch successful new products.

“Taking something as simple as a biscuit and exploring the variety of ways to make it innovative has been a driving force behind our business since the beginning,” said Michael Gagne, chef and president of Gagne Foods. “To achieve recognition for this aspect of food manufacturing is a great honor for us.”

The Double Chocolate Biscuit, made by Gagne Foods and sold under the company’s Robinhood Meetinghouse brand, is one of three recently released products by the frozen foods manufacturer.
