Meals & Sides Target Health and Convenience
Despite trends that show consumer eating behaviors gravitating toward snacks, meals and sides, especially ones that feature convenience, still appeal to consumers who prepare food at home.
A focus on clean label and simple ingredients has boosted the number of introductions in the category, and new technology in frozen foods has given processors an opportunity to capitalize on “fresh” claims that were previously unattainable.
Here, we’ve collected a smattering of new meals and sides products that run the gamut of organic rices to healthy pastas and meal kits that target specific day-parts.
