Michael Foods Launches New Waffle Portfolio

HOPKINS, Minn., Oct. 1, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Michael Foods, a subsidiary of Post Holdings, is entering the waffle category with the launch of three new products under the Papetti's® brand: Cornbread Waffle Carrier, Hash Brown Waffle Carrier, and Mini Maple Waffles. The company is expanding its portfolio to meet the growing demand for unique flavors, portable formats, and craveable comfort foods. The new waffle lineup, designed to help operators create standout menu offerings without increasing back-of-house complexity, is now available through foodservice distribution beginning October 1, 2026.

The new Papetti's® waffle portfolio is a versatile solution for operators looking to elevate their menus. The Cornbread Waffle Carrier, for example, reimagines a comfort-food favorite with the familiar flavor of cornbread and subtle honey sweetness. This versatile carrier serves as a unique canvas for breakfast sandwiches, barbecue-inspired handhelds, chicken sandwiches, and seasonal menu creations. The balanced sweet-and-savory profile helps operators deliver both menu differentiation and ease of execution.

The Hash Brown Waffle Carrier transforms a breakfast staple into a versatile handheld solution. Crafted with savory hash browns and crispy golden texture, this unique carrier creates new opportunities for breakfast sandwiches, brunch builds, burgers, and all-day handhelds. The familiar flavor and craveable texture offer operators a simple way to elevate handheld offerings across the menu.

The Mini Maple Waffles, on the other hand, deliver big flavor in a convenient bite-sized format. With sweet maple flavor and a soft, fluffy texture, these mini Belgian-style waffles are ideal for breakfast, grab-and-go offerings, snack boxes, catering applications, and creative dessert builds. From breakfast to snacking and beyond, they offer operators endless opportunities to incorporate waffle appeal across the menu.

Together, these new products expand the Papetti's® portfolio with solutions designed to inspire menu innovation while supporting labor efficiency and operational simplicity. Whether as sandwich carriers, snackable bites, or creative menu components, the new waffles help operators deliver memorable dining experiences without adding complexity in the kitchen.
