Helping People Eat Well
Today, consumers are looking for healthier meal options that fit into their active lifestyles. That’s why our team of chefs, nutritionists and dietitians is constantly working to develop products that meet these needs—products that address requests for all-natural, organic, gluten-free or more.
What’s Great About Protein?
Nutritional fads come and go, but most nutritionists agree that protein is an essential part of a well-balanced diet. Protein can help us fuel our day, feel fuller longer, manage our weight and support healthy aging.
Protein is made up of hundreds of building blocks called amino acids, linked together in unique sequences. There are about 20 different amino acids; nine of them are designated essential amino acids. The reason they’re called essential is because the body cannot create them and needs to obtain them from the food we eat. The protein found in meat and poultry is a complete protein because it supplies all the essential amino acids in necessary amounts. Eating the right balance and combination of protein is key to a nutritious diet.
We have the fastest growing portfolio of protein-centric brands, spanning a variety of categories, occasions, and consumer profiles.
