At Hormel Foods, all 20,000 team members are encouraged to participate in and contribute to the company’s culture of innovation. The makers of the Hormel brand are showcasing the latest example of that team-member contribution with the launch of its newest product innovation: Hormel Sweet Garlic Ginger Pork Loin.
The inspiration for the recipe came courtesy of team member Feng Walkup, an international account manager of the fresh meat category at Hormel Foods and a 24-year veteran of the company. Walkup has been preparing sweet garlic ginger pork for years, as the recipe has long been a family staple. She recently prepared the dish for an office potluck, and the resulting response from her co-workers brought more than just praise. They loved it so much that they asked her to help bring the flavor to life for the company’s marinated-meats product line.
