Abstract
Frozen convenience foods are convenient, quick to prepare and tasty, making
them a great fit for today' s typically time-crunched American. Whereas
convenience used to mean sacrificing quality for speed, frozen foods now score
high in both quality and flavor, with items like frozen meal kits making it
easy for consumers to put a "home-cooked" meal on their table with little
fuss, and with many newer pizza products claiming to be every bit as good
as-if not better than-restaurant take-out. In addition, new customizable
options are making the frozen convenience foods even more competitive not only
against restaurant take-out but also against the growing range of fresh
prepared foods offered by food retailers of virtually every stripe.
This fully updated Packaged Facts report examines the market for frozen
convenience foods meant to constitute a meal or snack, including dinners and
entrees, pizza, hand-held foods, breakfast foods, appetizers and snacks, and
