Developed in conjunction with experts from the Cancer Nutrition Consortium, Hormel Foods is debuting a new line of packaged, ready-to-eat meals, shakes and protein powders designed to specifically support the nutritional needs of cancer patients.
The new products, named Hormel Vital Cuisine, provide a balance of proteins, fats and carbohydrates that are needed to combat the fatigue, unintentional weight loss and decreased muscle mass that often accompanies cancer treatment. The ready-to-eat meals feature three varieties—chicken and dumpling, vegetarian stew, and beef and mushroom gravy.
