Pioneer Expands ‘Comfort Meal Solutions’ Sauce and Seasoning Mix Availability; Announces Nationwide Distribution in Major U.S. Grocery Chains
Longtime leader in comfort-food-made-easy delivers time-saving solution to enhance growing product portfolio
SAN ANTONIO, Texas (December 15, 2020) - Pioneer, a subsidiary of leading food manufacturer C.H. Guenther & Son, announced that, in response to consumer demand, it will be expanding the distribution of the brand’s recent addition to its portfolio of delicious, easy-to-make meal solutions and enhancements. Joining the brand’s top-selling baking and gravy mix products, Pioneer’s Comfort Meal Solutions are a perfectly portioned line of seasonings and meal sauces that make preparing time-tested favorites like Chicken Pot Pie, Chicken & Dumplings, Cajun Shrimp & Rice and Bayou Jambalaya quicker and easier than ever.
“In a year of uncertainty, families are turning to time-tested comfort meals to infuse a sense of normalcy into their everyday lives,” said Kelly Crouse, Senior Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer of C.H. Guenther & Son. “For generations, helping families turn meals into memories has been our priority with our best-selling baking and gravy mixes. Our new Comfort Meal Solutions simplify the cooking process and deliver the home-cooked flavor we’ve grown up loving.”
After a limited launch with select retailers in early 2020, Pioneer’s Comfort Meal Solutions are now widely available through a national network of food distributors and major grocery retailers like Walmart, Kroger, Albertsons and Food Lion, among others. Based on early sales data and positive feedback from consumers and retail partners, Pioneer expects to add two new varieties to the Comfort Meal Solutions product line in 2021.
While Comfort Meal Solutions’ taste and economic price point appealed most to buyers, the product line’s early 2020 launch date proved especially timely. Crouse continued, “As customers found themselves eating at home more in 2020, the desire for fast, scratch-made comfort meal options skyrocketed.”
Sold in perfectly portioned packets, Pioneer’s Comfort Meal Solutions simplify two critical steps in making your favorite homecooked meals – seasoning and sauce preparation.
