These flavor-forward chowders are offered at an accessible price point to drive repeat purchases and give shoppers a comforting meal experience.

These ready-to-heat refrigerated pasta entrées build on current trends of shoppers seeking even easier, satisfying meal solutions. Priced right and fully prepared, these entrées are easy to merchandise in the deli and are designed to drive purchase frequency.
High-Protein Reser's American Classics Deli Salads—As the number one brand in packaged protein salads, Reser's is redefining the category with its new High-Protein Reser's American Classics Deli Salads available in three classic flavors: Chicken, Tuna and Egg. Designed to meet growing demand for better-for-you options, these trend-forward recipes offer up to 25% more protein (compared to existing Reser's varieties) and up to 60% fewer calories.
