In this month's Favorite Product Poll, Prepared Foods readers found inspiration in Lean Cuisine Origins (frozen food) and the new Arnold, Brownberry, Oroweat Organics line (breads).

Overweight and obesity rates might be leveling off, but as more nations become more developed, waist expansion is spreading worldwide. In fact, the global girth rate appears to be untouched by an equally epidemic and persistent obsession with diets—diets of all kinds and of all claims.

These naturally gluten-free ancient grains give the pizza a whole-grain taste and texture, plus a healthy boost of fiber, protein, calcium, vitamins and minerals.

Consumers now have access to almost anything through grocery delivery, meal prep kits, grocerants (supermarkets that offer restaurant quality foods), online ordering, and mobile apps.

Easy and convenient, the snacks are also safe for nut-free classrooms, gluten-free, certified vegan, organic, non-GMO, kosher parve and contain a full serving of vegetables. 

The need for nutritious snacks is also growing—51% of consumers say healthfulness is an important factor in their snack choices2—and operators can give guests the solutions they’re seeking with V8® beverages from Campbell’s Foodservice.

Artisan products have a new position in the US market as more consumers express interest about what's in their foods and drinks—as well as where and how those items are produced.

The launch of ORBIT Freeze Mint marks the brand's newest product innovation since introducing ORBIT White in 2016.

The company is also releasing its next Limited Release bar, a dark 80% Fiji from single estate Vanua Levu with tasting notes of Green Tea/Cocoa/Pear/Malt. It is made with two ingredients:  cacao and cane sugar.
