US-based ConAgra Foods has expanded its Healthy Choice simply cafe steamers line with the launch of four dishes made with USDA-certified organic ingredients.
The company said that the four new recipes, all with 270 calories or less, are in line with the current food trends.
The four dishes include unwrapped burrito bowl, sweet & spicy Asian-style noodle bowl, three cheese tortellini, and creamy spinach & tomato linguini.
Healthy Choice associate brand manager Alan Brooks said: “We are constantly listening to our customers and strive to provide new options that satisfy their needs.
"Our new organic varieties provide more options to the 45 percent of consumers nationwide who are actively trying to include organic foods in their diet."
Its unwrapped burrito bowl consists of organic black and pinto beans, fire roasted corn, red bell peppers and scallions with organic whole grain brown rice in a tomatillo sauce.
Its other dish is made with udon noodles, organic edamame and carrots, celery, red bell pepper and scallions in a spicy soy sauce.
ConAgra said that Healthy Choice Simply Café Steamers meals, including the new organic-ingredient options, are made to maximize flavor the healthy way, by deploying techniques that improve food's natural flavors.
Brooks said: “The transformative process of steam creates a lightness and energy in every Healthy Choice Café Steamers meal.
"Cooking with steam transforms simple ingredients into vibrant and crisp vegetables, juicy proteins and perfectly cooked grains for a delicious, fresh taste."
The firm plans to start introducing the new meals this spring and reach full national distribution by July.
In June, ConAgra Foods announced that it would discontinue the use of Partially Hydrogenated Oils (PHOs) in the manufacturing of all spreads in the company’s portfolio.
This includes Fleischmann's, Blue Bonnet and Parkay.
