Supporting Busy Families, Affordability, Jobs and a More Resilient Food System
Support for frozen foods is a kitchen table issue for Americans.
Frozen foods are a practical way to advance affordability and nutrition goals at the same time. Americans want food that is healthy, affordable, and easy to keep on hand. Frozen foods help deliver all three.
Policymakers looking to address food inflation, expand nutrition access, and reduce waste should view frozen foods as part of the solution.
Real Ingredients. Practical Nutrition.
Frozen foods are built from recognizable ingredients including fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy, and proteins. These ingredients are prepared into foods Americans rely on every day, from single-ingredient produce to complete meals and sides.
By combining everyday ingredients with practical preparation, frozen foods can help make balanced meals easier to access, prepare, and serve.
Frozen foods are made with real ingredients using familiar cooking methods from our own kitchens—chopping, mixing, baking, roasting—just at scale. A frozen burrito starts with tortillas made from flour and water. Frozen pizzas begin with dough and sauce. Dumplings are made from scratch before being frozen immediately to lock in nutrition and taste.
Similarly, fruits and vegetables are picked at peak ripeness and frozen within hours, making them nutritionally comparable to, or even better than, fresh produce that often spends days in transit and storage.
