Consumers looking for meal solutions—for any breakfast, lunch or dinner—need look no farther than the grocery meat case. There are prepared offerings to deliver meals or sides in just minutes. Moreover, the industry’s latest new products address consumer interests for global taste adventure, premium flavor, health and quick convenience.
Speaking of convenience, it was last that MegaMex Foods, Orange, Calif., extended its Herdez brand (known for sauces and salsas) into prepared meat entrees. It debuted with two 15oz, ready-to-eat offerings: Chicken Shredded in Mild Chipotle Sauce and a Carnitas Slow Cooked Pork. Both carried a suggested retail price of $9.99 to $10.99. Joining the line last October was Barbacoa Shredded Beef in Sauce.
