Dawn Foods to raise prices on cocoa products

August 19, 2010, Jackson, MI – Dawn Food Products will
charge higher prices for items containing cocoa ordered on or after September
1, 2010.

“Due
to several global market conditions, cocoa prices have more than doubled in the
last two years and are at their highest level in the last 30 years,” said
Laurence Saul, Dawn Foods’ President of Global Commercial. “Unfortunately,
cocoa prices are expected to remain high for the foreseeable future. Dawn, like
any large purchaser of cocoa, is left without any other practical
options.” 

Dawn
is a supplier of mixes, bases, icings, glazes, fillings, frozen dough, and par-
and fully baked products, as well as equipment and services.
