(Fort Washington, PA, Friday, March 4, 2022) – March is National Nutrition Month, an annual campaign created by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, and Frozen Food Month which is an ideal time to look at the current trends in healthy eating. Consumer priorities around healthy eating and cooking have shifted since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic as more people are eating and cooking at home. Frozen meals deliver an opportunity for a sustainable, affordable, versatile and convenient approach to eating well.
As the pandemic continues to impact our daily lives, we’re finding that Americans are shifting focus back to their health. We know that obesity is one of the biggest factors in COVID-19 hospitalization cases. Maintaining a healthy weight benefits overall health and frozen foods can provide nutrition and portion-control to help us reach our goals.
What’s more as food prices continue to increase, frozen meals can provide an opportunity to minimize food waste in the home. According to a recent article, the average American household throws out about $1,500 in food waste each year. The USDA has similar data.
Frozen meals can help reduce waste and save money. Frozen meals have become an appealing option for consumers to put healthy and delicious food on the table and companies are offering more healthy frozen options than ever before, as well as options that accommodate diverse palates. Culturally diverse cuisine is a hot topic and that Americans are craving more variety, especially with frozen meals.
