United Food Group claims the meals can be prepared directly in their cook-in and eat-in pouches, eliminating the need for cleanup. They also require no additional ingredients—just add water, heat, and eat.
Bryan Real, President of United Food Group, stated that the meals are MSG-free and high in protein. “We are a cost saving alternative that can be prepared and enjoyed in minutes,” Real added.
The Elgin-based food manufacturer also offers protein-rich drinks in three flavors, along with a Meal and Beverage Variety Pack that includes 8 meals and 3 drink mixes. Customers will receive a Perfect Savings Microwave Cooking Caddy for every purchase of the meal kit.
The Perfect Servings meals and drinks are available on its website, with free shipping on orders over $25. The company is planning to make them available in retail outlets soon.
