USA | ALDI has made mealtime tastier and easier with its first-ever collection of ready-made meals.
This October, America’s fastest-growing grocer will introduce fresh single-serve and family-style meals made with quality ingredients, big flavours, and satisfying portions at accessible prices.
The meals arrive at an essential time when 61 percent of Americans said convenience was a top purchase consideration, but it shouldn’t come at the expense of quality.
ALDI’s lineup is delivered fresh, with restaurant-quality flavour and texture at the centre of every recipe. Whether feeding the family at dinnertime or grabbing a quick lunch, the new collection delivers delicious, hassle-free options for when the last place you want to be is the kitchen.
“We tested hundreds of recipes as we developed this collection, with quality as our top standard from the very beginning,” said Terry Jackson, Head of Food at Kitchen Food Company and ALDI supplier of ready-made meals.
“We want every meal to hit the mark on bold flavour and standout ingredients, so even when time is short, shoppers can still look forward to what’s on the table.”
Made with ingredients like chicken breast, smoked beef brisket and real cheeses, plus made-from-scratch sauces and plentiful servings, these meals are perfect for packing a lunch, serving dinner for a busy family or meal prepping.
The collection also delivers 30 to 46 grams of protein per single-serve meal and 16 to 22 grams per family-size serving, all available at the low prices ALDI is known for.
"Our shoppers are looking for meals that fit into busy lives without sacrificing quality or stretching their budgets," said Joan Kavanaugh, Vice President of National Buying, ALDI U.S.
"That's why we were thoughtful about how we entered this category. We’re evolving to meet our shoppers where they are by delivering fresh ingredients, great flavour and unbeatable value that they can always expect from ALDI."
Ready-made meals begin rolling out in select ALDI markets in early October, with additional markets launching throughout the fall. The full collection will be available by January 2027.
