Chicken Strips and White Mac and Cheese and Chicken Meatballs and Buttered Ravioli

March 9, 2026

Frozen kids' meal brand Kidfresh is introducing two new meals: Chicken Strips & White Mac and Cheese and Chicken Meatballs and Buttered Ravioli. These additions reflect growing demand from families for convenient, nutritious options that kids enjoy eating.

Designed to deliver everyday mealtime wins, both products combine familiar flavors with hidden vegetables.

The Chicken Strips & White Mac & Cheese Easy Combo Meal features white-meat chicken strips made from antibiotic-free chicken and hidden cauliflower, paired with white mac and cheese made with mini penne pasta, mild cheddar cheese sauce and hidden pureed navy beans. This offering is available in stores beginning May 2026.

The Chicken Meatballs & Buttered Ravioli Easy Combo Meal features bite-sized chicken meatballs made with antibiotic-free chicken and hidden carrots, celery and onions, alongside ricotta cheese ravioli in butter sauce, with a blend of hidden pureed cauliflower, sweet potatoes and fava beans for added nutrition. This offering is available in stores.

Both meals contain no artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives.

Brand evolution and website refresh

These launches are part of Kidfresh's continued brand evolution, focused on modernizing how families discover and experience the brand. In addition to expanding its product lineup, Kidfresh recently introduced an updated website, kidfresh.com, designed to make it easier for parents to explore meal options, access detailed nutritional information and find helpful resources aligned with company's the "Win More Meals" philosophy, which is the belief that parents can get their children to eat more meals by providing them with nutritious meals they enjoy eating. Kidfresh's refreshed digital platform supports the company's continued investment in helping families navigate mealtime with more confidence and ease.

Expo West

Kidfresh exhibited at Natural Products Expo West 2026 in Anaheim, Calif., March 4–6. At the show, attendees explored Kidfresh's full portfolio of clean-label frozen meals.

"We understand that sometimes mealtime can feel like a daily challenge," said Michael Allen, CEO of Kidfresh. "Our focus is helping families win more meals by delivering options kids genuinely love and parents feel good about serving. Expo West is an exciting opportunity for us to connect with partners and share our growing portfolio, including these new additions, as we continue building momentum with our portfolio in the frozen category."
