Kraft debuts new refrigerated products
Now describing itself as a "global powerhouse in snacks, confectionery and quick meals," Kraft Foods Inc., Northfield, Ill., used the 2010 Food Marketing Institute show in Las Vegas to debut more than 30 new products, including several refrigerated offerings.
Officials said Kraft is "building on its innovative efforts earlier this year to deliver more restaurant-inspired flavors in its products. At the same time, time-starved consumers are still looking for accessible snacks and Kraft Foods is 'first to the table' with new, great-tasting options."
"We continue to see the greatest growth in our snacking, confectionery and quick meal products at Kraft Foods," said Bob Becker, senior vice president of new product development, Kraft Foods, North America. "More consumers are 'on the go' and therefore in search of quick and delicious treats, and Kraft Foods is leading the way with reinvigorated foods and beverages that boast both taste and convenience."
Among Kraft's many new offerings are the following refrigerated products:
-- Cracker Barrel Cheese: Three new flavors include Monterey Jack, Sharp Cheddar and Medium Cheddar.
