  • Report Name:Shelf-Stable and Frozen Ready Meals Market Brief
    Voluntary Report – Voluntary - Public Distribution Date: May 11, 2021 Report Number: RP2021-0025 Report Name: Shelf-Stable and Frozen Ready Meals Market Brief Country: Philippines Post: Manila Report Category: Product Brief, Food Service - Hotel Restaurant Institutional, Retail Foods, SP1 - Expand International Marketing Opportunities Prepared By: Ramona Singian Approved By: Ryan Bedford Report Highlights: Amidst government warnings to stay home, food service players moved their business off- premises and with the help of food delivery companies, made it easier for consumers to purchase meals. Retailers are also reporting brisk sales in ready meals, growing 12 percent in 2020 to $81 million. Industry contacts forecast sales of meals from the overall food service and retail channels will increase five percent in 2021 to $6.6 billion, as companies introduce higher-quality products and make improvements in e-commerce and delivery services. U.S. suppliers can grab a share of this market by introducing shelf-stable and frozen ready meals. With changing consumer habits, Post sees 5 to 8 percent annual growth over the next five years even after lockdown restrictions have eased and more people dine in restaurants. THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Philippine Market Brief Shelf-Stable and Frozen Ready Meals As the COVID-19 pandemic presses on, consumers have settled into routines that involve more home cooking, but the surge in off-premises food service sales suggests consumers are coupling home cooked meals with ready meals. (Defined as a meal already prepared and cooked that only requires heating at home) Even those who love to cook take a break from whipping up multiple meals a day.

  • Innovations in Child Nutrition Programs During COVID-19 and Beyond Innovations in Child Nutrition Programs During COVID-19 and Beyond
    Innovations in Child Nutrition Programs During COVID-19 and Beyond Innovations in Child Nutrition Programs During COVID-19 and Beyond Foreword Share Our Strength is a national organization working to end childhood hunger in the United States and abroad. Through proven, effective campaigns, Share Our Strength connects people who care to ideas that work. Share Our Strength’s largest campaign is No Kid Hungry, which works to ensure that children from low-income families get the healthy food they need. For more information about this project, contact [email protected]. 2 1 Introduction When the pandemic forced schools to close this past spring, everything changed. Students and teachers were thrust into online learning, parents found themselves responsible for around-the-clock care, and meal providers were asked to invent plans that would connect kids with food at home. Everyone was unprepared and overwhelmed, and yet many meal providers found themselves rapidly adapting their operations to reach kids in their communities. In some instances, these new models and programs really worked, sometimes better than before. Meal providers found themselves facing even greater need than before the pandemic. Rising unemployment led some families to rely on programs for food who had never done so before, and meal providers became more acquainted with families’ needs beyond food, ranging from household products to lack of childcare to an inability to pay rent. Meanwhile, USDA issued waivers that allowed meal providers to distribute food in new ways, such as allowing parents to pick up meals to take home and serving multiple meals at one time.

  • Menu Planning
    MENU PLANNING Making Menu Planning Work You can probably identify the reasons why menu planning can be helpful. It can help you stay on budget, include healthy foods, stay organized, and decrease restaurant and impulse foods. Even though these benefits are easy to come up with, it can be difficult to integrate menu planning into your weekly routine. This is a step by step guide to change the way you think about menu planning and make it a realistic process for you. When meal planning, consider your lifestyle and the food preparation that it requires. Be realistic about your patterns and the amount of time you are willing to spend. You will have to make some changes, but don’t expect to switch from take-out food every night to spending an hour preparing each dinner. Thinking this through beforehand sets you up for success and makes your food planning experience seem worthwhile! Below is an example of how this might work for lunch and dinner. www.ymcatoledo.org STEP ONE: Consider Your Week 1. What is your schedule like this week? What events are coming up that will have an impact on your meals? You will need quick preparation foods, assembly foods, or leftovers for these evenings. 2. Do you have meetings or appointments over your lunch hour? You will need to pack foods that will be appropriate in the meeting setting. 3. Will you be traveling or attending parties over the weekend? You will need to pre-plan foods that are portable and can be eaten without mess or fuss in the car.

  • Food Planning During the Pandemic
    107 Nott Terrace, Suite 301 Schenectady, NY 12308 Phone: (518) 372-1622; Fax: (518) 372-8703 Food Planning during the Coronavirus Pandemic During this pandemic, you should be taking extra precautions to keep safe and prepared, including making sure you have everything you need at home. This handout contains information on food planning, including what to buy, how much to buy, and some preparation tips. Grocery shopping is more stressful now. Here is what to do. Check what you have at home first: Take a look at the foods you have in your refrigerator, freezer, and pantry before you make a list. Check expiration dates and best by dates. This can help you plan meals around what you already have, and will help you limit the number of trips to the grocery store and getting things you don’t need. Make a shopping list: Make your list ahead of time to stay focused, get the items you need, and keep your shopping trip short. Since stores may not have some specific items, create a list with general items like “bananas, clementines, grapes, romaine salad mix” or “whole wheat bread.” Plan your grocery list for two weeks worth of food. Explore your shopping options: Many grocery stores offer in-store pickup, curbside pickup, or delivery. Check if your store delivers or has early shopping hours for seniors. Arrange for family or friends to get the groceries for you. How much should I buy? Buy what is on your list and resist the urge to buy in larger quantities unless it is on sale and you are able to use it and store safely.

  • The Frozen Aisle Market Drivers & Trends
    ALWAYS INSPIRING MORE Market Drivers & & DriversMarketTrends Aisle FrozenThe MARKET DRIVERS > The cost of ingredients is making it tougher for manufacturers to hold the line on prices. > The impact of the recession is causing consumers to eat more individual frozen meals than last year. > Americans’ interest in eating better has created an opportunity for frozen meal manufacturers to upgrade the nutritional profile of their products to match their convenience benefit. > High on the list is a desire for more whole-grain versions, vegetables and low-fat, low- calorie and low-sodium varieties > The frozen meals category is losing families to shelf-stable meal solutions (that can impart more of a “from scratch” experience), and supermarket deli meal solutions that are equally convenient but decidedly more premium/fresh. > Premium products, natural/organic, whole grain, more interesting ethnic flavors, and locally made frozen meals are attributes consumers are most willing to pay slightly more for. 2 TRENDS: Convenience > In seeking a slower, more grounded lifestyle, consumers aren't completely giving up their need for speed. > Busy, stressed-out consumers have idealized the concept of the slow life. Not everyone is cut out for the commitment, so convenience is coming into play in the middle ground between sacrificing time and sacrificing simplicity. > It's important that brands and services communicate that instead of being a guilty pleasure, convenience can help shoppers enjoy the slow life through time-saving measures. > 50% feel that frozen meals provide a convenient way to eat a healthy meal, and over-65s especially feel this way. > Premium, natural/organic, and whole grain frozen meals—are types that consumers are most willing to pay slightly more for.

  • To Tap the Hidden Power of the Frozen Food Aisle
    5 WAYS to Tap the Hidden Power of the Frozen Food Aisle onsumers tend to have a complicated relationship with frozen foods. They rely on frozen fare for a convenient shortcut when Cschedules are tight—but they may feel guilty for not whipping up a meal from scratch using fresh foods. They reach for frozen favorites to quickly satisfy an off-hours craving—yet they question the health and quality quotient of many frozen items. It all adds up to a category fraught with unique challenges, as well as undeniable strengths and opportunities that manufacturers and grocery retailers can work together to leverage and monetize. 2 TAP THE HIDDEN POWER OF THE FROZEN FOOD AISLE “It’s important to understand shoppers’ [frozen] usage and shopping habits so retailers and manufacturers can work together to reinvigorate that part of center store.” — David Lundahl, CEO of InsightsNow versatility of frozen certainly appeals to parents, adults-only households are just as likely as households with children to purchase frozen foods and to say they will continue purchasing frozen foods in the future.2 Frozen food consumption habits are also often linked to life events.3 For example, a new job can bring about stress, unpredictable hours and a shift in the routine. As a result, those with new jobs are more likely than average to take advantage of frozen foods’ convenience and taste benefits,4 Convenience has always been one of the primary drivers of suggesting that consumers in the throes of a big life change this major $22 BILLION CATEGORY (including dinners/ are prime candidates for boosting frozen food purchases.
