Mekeni Food Corporation Unveils New Offerings at One Pampanga Food and Beverage Expo, Celebrating 40 Years of Culinary Excellence
CLARK, PAMPANGA – Mekeni Food Corporation made a significant impact at the inaugural One Pampanga Food and Beverage Expo held on September 13-14, showcasing its latest product innovations in anticipation of its 40th anniversary in 2026.
The highlight of the expo was Mekeni's new sausage creations, which drew considerable attention from attendees. Among the standout offerings was the 4 Cheese Sausage, a delightful blend of cheddar, gouda, cream cheese, and mozzarella, which quickly became a favorite for cheese enthusiasts. The Breakfast Sausage, although petite, packed a punch with its robust flavors, making it an ideal choice for quick, satisfying meals. For the more discerning palate, the Country Style Sausage offered a gourmet experience, infused with a medley of herbs.
In addition to these new sausages, Mekeni showcased its beloved Festive Christmas Ham collection, a holiday staple in Filipino households. This year’s lineup included the Gold Premium Ham, made from top-quality pork cuts, and the Deli Ham, known for its traditional sweet-savory flavor. Health-conscious consumers were catered to with the Premium Chicken Ham, while the festive Jamon de Bola and Pear-shaped Ham added a special touch to holiday feasts. The Brick Ham and budget-friendly Christmas Ham rounded out the selection, ensuring a variety of options for every family.
Mekeni also introduced an exciting new venture called Street Flavors, a cart concept that offers premium versions of popular Filipino street food such as fish balls, squid balls, and kikiam. This initiative not only provides a fresh way to enjoy beloved snacks but also presents a unique business opportunity for aspiring entrepreneurs interested in operating their own event carts.
Visitors were treated to a sneak peek of Mekeni's upcoming 40th anniversary campaign, featuring the unveiling of its special logo and an innovative AI-powered photobooth highlighting the global reach of Mekeni products. This initiative underscores the company’s commitment to sharing Kapampangan flavors worldwide.
“As we celebrate our journey towards 40 years, we are excited to give our customers a taste of what’s next,” said Mekeni President Pruds Garcia. “Our new products, ventures like Street Flavors, and our international expansion all contribute to our narrative, encapsulated in our motto: ‘May Kwento sa Bawat Timpla’ (There’s a story in every flavor).”
Mekeni’s participation in the One Pampanga Food and Beverage Expo not only marked a celebration of its rich heritage but also served as a platform to inspire aspiring entrepreneurs and small business owners. “This expo is meaningful to us because it allows us to demonstrate that growth from humble beginnings is possible, and to encourage others to pursue their dreams with passion and resilience,” Garcia added.
With its innovative offerings and a strong vision for the future, Mekeni Food Corporation continues to solidify its status as a pillar of Kapampangan cuisine and a prominent Filipino brand on the global stage. hi
