IDAHO POTATO COMMISSION ANNOUNCES FOODSERVICE AND PRODUCE DISTRIBUTOR TRAINING GAME

IPC Offers Cash and Other Prizes to Distributors Who Test Their Potato Knowledge

Eagle ID (June 2017)—The Idaho Potato Commission (IPC) is reaching out to foodservice distributors, foodservice fresh produce buyers and their sales teams to encourage them take a short, online educational quiz that enters them into three monthly drawings for cash and prizes. Incentives for playing the IPC Foodservice Training Game include $500 Visa gift cards, Cusinart Knife sets, Bluetooth Speakers, and the ever-popular IPC Spuddy Buddies.

To play the IPC Foodservice Training Game, foodservice distribution and produce pros must set up an account at potatolife.idahopotato.com/login. Once logged in, they can play the Idaho® Potato game to have their name entered in one or more monthly drawings (the IPC will hold three drawings–June, July and August). Entrants who complete the quiz in June will be eligible for three drawings. Entrants who wait to enter will have fewer chances to win.

About the Idaho Potato Commission

Established in 1937, the Idaho Potato Commission (IPC) is a state agency that is responsible for promoting and protecting the famous “Grown in Idaho®” seal, a federally registered trademark that assures consumers they are purchasing genuine, top-quality Idaho® potatoes. Idaho’s growing season of warm days and cool nights, ample mountain–fed irrigation and rich volcanic soil, give Idaho® potatoes their unique texture, taste and dependable performance. These ideal growing conditions are what differentiate Idaho® potatoes from potatoes grown in other states. For more information, visit: www.idahopotato.com.
