Progresso Moves to Antibiotic-, Hormone-Free Chicken
The product updates will impact all chicken soups across Progresso's Traditional, Light, Reduced Sodium, and Rich & Hearty line
Progresso is now using only 100% antibiotic and hormone free chicken breasts in all of its 36 chicken soup varieties. Currently available on store shelves nationwide, Progresso is the first large retail soup brand in the United States to have antibiotic and hormone free chicken breasts in its soups.
For decades, Progresso has been committed to improving the quality of its soups. Not only is Progresso now using only white breast meat chicken with no antibiotics or hormones, but the brand is also free from artificial flavors and has removed artificial colors from 60% of its soups, with a goal to remove 100% by 2019. In addition, the soup brand has reduced sodium levels in more than 40 soup varieties, added seven soups to its certified gluten-free product line and is increasing its vegetarian soup options.
