UNFI Offers New Meal Solutions to Help Retailers Meet Consumer Demand for At Home Food Options

New Fresh and Frozen Entrees and Sides from Cook•Able and Cadence Kitchen Reduce Labor Demand at Retailers for Fast, High-Quality Entrees and Sides

United Natural Foods, Inc. (NYSE: UNFI) (“UNFI”) today announced it has added two new meal solutions to its offering to better allow retailers to meet the growing demand for quick, restaurant quality meals, while reducing in-store labor and the time required to create similar products on their own. The meal solutions are available nationwide to the more than 30,000 customer locations UNFI services.

The new on-trend meal solutions, a fresh meal kit from Cook•Able and flash-frozen meals from Cadence Kitchen, allow UNFI to quickly deliver additional high quality product choices which help customers differentiate their offerings at a time when consumers increasingly rely on their local retailer for meal options.
