ConAgra Foods was recognized recently with the Institute of Food
Technologists Industrial Achievement Award for its Healthy Choice ®
Café SteamersTM product platform. The judges described Café
Steamers as “a significant improvement in frozen meal preparation
and quality.”
The award honors a company or organization for “an outstanding
development which represents a significant advance in the
application of food science and technology to food production.” The
award was presented at the IFT Annual Meeting and Expo in Chicago,
Ill.
“Café Steamers are a true representation of our efforts to use
science and innovation to bring consumers high-quality,
fresh-tasting food that’s also convenient,” said Gordon Smith, vice
president, Research and Development, ConAgra Foods. “To be selected
by peer scientists for this award is a real honor.”
Healthy Choice Café Steamers was named in 2009 as the number one
new food item, measured by sales in 2008, according to IRI data.
The product also received a World Packaging Organisation WorldStar
