Kanzen Meal, a new well-being brand entering the frozen meal category, announced major growth milestones with its debut in East Coast retailers, along with two new varieties added to its portfolio of nutrient-dense comfort foods. Kanzen Meal first launched in California last June and will now be sold in Wegmans, Wakefern and Weis in the Northeast, as well as Harris Teeter in the Southeast.
This expansion will bring Kanzen Meal’s total distribution to nearly 1,000 US stores in less than six months, validating the growing consumer demand for convenient meals which offer a complete meal solution that delivers taste and nutrient density.
Kanzen Meal uses Japanese culinary techniques and precisely creates nutrient-dense meals rooted in the familiarity of tasty comfort foods. The brand currently will have five SKUs in its portfolio with the introduction of two new flavors this month:
– Spicy Dan Dan Noodles: this Sichuan inspired dish is a bold flavor combination of rice noodles in velvety spicy and savory sesame sauce with edamame and green onions.
– Spaghetti Carbonara: this take on the classic dish is a balanced mix of al dente spaghetti noodles, crisp broccoli and tender bacon covered with a rich, creamy carbonara sauce.
All five varieties – including Spaghetti Bolognese, Fettuccine Alfredo and Shrimp Teriyaki – contain up to 24g of protein, 10g of fiber, more than 1/3 of the Daily Value (DV) for all 27 essential vitamins and minerals with 0g added sugars. Each Kanzen Meal dish has between 460-560 calories and contains 1/3 or less of the DV for sodium.
Kanzen Meal retails for between $6.99 and $7.99.
