In a statement Kraft Heinz said the launch targeted consumers looking for a “convenient, portable meal that offers reduced prep time [and] meets the need of consumers as they become increasingly time poor”.

Perfect for consumers looking for something thoroughly indulgent, the launch of Kraft’s comforting cheesy dish will help retailers meet consumer demand for American cuisine, whilst catering to the needs of time sensitive consumers. The launch of one of America’s most trusted brands will help to drive the UK frozen ready meal category – delivering on quality, price, portion and taste.”
