FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mexico, Missouri (August 2025) — Parker Food Group, a leading manufacturer of value-added inclusions and custom ingredient solutions, has officially launched its new Popping Boba product line—produced in our high-quality facility in Mexico, Missouri. Designed for both foodservice operators and industrial retail developers, the syrup-filled pearls deliver vibrant flavor, visual impact, and consistent performance across beverages and dessert applications.
As menu demand for boba continues to surge—especially among Gen Z and Millennial consumers—Parker’s domestic manufacturing capability offers a strategic advantage in a category historically reliant on international supply chains.
“Bringing popping boba production in-house has allowed us to deliver on what our customers value most—product consistency, food safety, and dependable lead times,” said Amber Jordan, Vice President of Quality at Parker Food Group. “Every pouch is backed by process controls, allergen management, and the same operational rigor we apply across our entire portfolio.”
The boba line is available in standard 9mm sizing with 2–5 lb. pouches and includes a wide portfolio of fruit-forward and warm brown-note flavors such as Mango, Strawberry, Green Apple, Brown Sugar, Coffee, and Yogurt. Both natural and artificial flavor versions are available, with shelf-stable options ranging from 9–12 months.
Parker is offering sample kits and custom flavor guidance to select foodservice and retail development teams, with commercialization support available from first sample to full-scale launch.
“Our goal is to help customers tap into the boba trend without the typical hurdles—no import delays, no inconsistent supply, no compromises on quality,” said Whitney Beem, Director of Marketing. “Whether it’s a beverage program, LTO, or packaged dessert, we’re ready to help you build something craveable.”
The launch reinforces Parker’s growing portfolio of made-in-the-USA innovations, joining its lineup of custom sprinkles, inclusions, coatings, cookie pieces, and nut-based ingredients.
