The new line made an exciting debut at the March Natural Products Expo West in Anaheim, California, and will be sampled at the 9^th annual BlogHer Conference in Chicago, Illinois this week. "We're shaking up the frozen category," said Mike Niethammer, LEAN CUISINE^® Director of Marketing. "We recognize that today's frozen consumer wants more.  She's seeking great tasting whole ingredients that she can feel good about, like wild caught salmon from sustainable sources and whole grain pilaf. By offering these innovative products in the natural section, we're giving our LEAN CUISINE^® consumers six new, delicious options to choose from, attracting new users and helping grow the category."

The new LEAN CUISINE^® Honestly Good™ varieties feature new packaging with a 100% recyclable outer sleeve and a translucent tray, which allows consumers to see the meal they're about to enjoy.  LEAN CUISINE^® believes strongly in the importance of serving the best tasting, highest quality ingredients, so we've partnered with select farmers to grow the ingredients in LEAN CUISINE^® Honestly Good™ entrees.  Together with some of these farmers, we're donating a portion of the vegetables grown for LEAN CUISINE^® Honestly Good™ to local communities through our Honestly Good Giving™ program.  In our first year, we will give one million servings of vegetables, so they can be enjoyed by those in need.
