New RAGÚ® Simply Pasta Sauces Delight Busy Moms With Delicious Taste And No Added Sugar
Nationwide Survey From RAGÚ® Also Reveals The Latest On Moms During The Stressful Back-to-School Period
MOUNT PROSPECT, Ill., July 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Busy parents can breathe a sigh of relief during this year's back-to-school season with the launch of NEW RAGÚ® Simply Pasta Sauces. Look no further than the family pantry for a sauce that is bold and flavorful, made with wholesome ingredients, 100-percent olive oil AND containing NO added sugar. RAGÚ Simply is a pasta sauce that moms can feel great about serving for a quick and easy school-night meal because it delivers a simply delicious taste that starts with California vine-ripened tomatoes, olive oil, carrots, onions and other delicious ingredients. RAGÚ Simply pasta sauce is now available nationwide in four mouthwatering varieties including: Traditional, Chunky Marinara, Chunky Garden Vegetable and Flavored with Meat.
To explore the impact and stress of the busy back-to-school season on weeknight mealtime, the RAGÚ brand team also recently connected with 1,000 moms across America. The RAGÚ® Simply Real Moms Survey revealed how moms, especially millennial moms with young children, feel about the everyday dinner experience. The brand uncovered that the majority of moms polled (52%) said they feel more stress during the busy back-to-school season when compared to the summer. Additionally, three-out-of-four moms are worried about the ingredients in their children's diets, including those they don't recognize, added sugar and artificial ingredients.
Offering a delicious and convenient dinnertime solution to moms' concerns, NEW RAGÚ Simply Pasta Sauces are bursting with hearty flavor. All of the sauces contain NO added sugar, NO artificial colors, NO artificial flavors and NO high-fructose corn syrup and most of the varieties are Non-GMO project verified.
"The RAGÚ Simply Real Moms Survey reinforced what we know about moms—that they feel pressure and stress when it comes to making a weeknight dinner that their family will eat, but also one that doesn't feel like a compromise in terms of nutrition," said David Beck, Senior Brand Manager for Mizkan America, Inc., the maker of RAGÚ pasta sauces. "The average mom cares deeply about the ingredients in the foods her family eats. So, we're proud to introduce NEW RAGÚ Simply Pasta Sauces, a pantry staple that moms can feel good about while also making weeknight meal creation both easy and really delicious."
The four new varieties of RAGÚ Simply Pasta Sauces are now available in the pasta-sauce aisle at select grocery and mass retailers nationwide for a suggested retail price of $2.19.
