At this year’s show, leveraging enhanced capabilities from its recent Crown 1 acquisition, Mama’s Creations will highlight a series of strategic advancements that expand its ability to support retailers across multiple deli applications, from behind-the-glass entrees to grab-and-go and ready-to-heat meals.
Key areas of innovation include:

- Broader protein capabilities: Continued expansion into additional proteins, including pork and protein-rich vegetables, providing retailers with more options to diversify their assortment and meet a wider range of consumer preferences and dayparts.
- Global menu expansion: A growing lineup of globally inspired prepared foods, including new panini flavors, entree bowls and vegetable side dishes, ranging from Korean barbecue-inspired offerings to Mediterranean-style meals, building on the company’s momentum in international flavors and enabling retailers to deliver complete, trend-forward meal solutions in the deli case.
Built for retail execution
“These innovations are about expanding what our partners can execute, not just what they can carry,” said Lauren Sella, chief marketing officer for Mama’s Creations. “We’ve continued to build a more complete prepared foods platform with new packaging formats and menu solutions that give retailers greater flexibility across the deli, whether that’s hot bar, grab-and-go, or center-of-plate meals. Our focus remains on helping retailers deliver more variety with less complexity, while maintaining the quality and consistency they expect from Mama’s Creations.”
