Pacific Foods intros organic breakfast product

TUALATIN, Ore. — Pacific Foods, which produces a variety of organic products that range from soups and sauces to dips and sides, is making an entry into the breakfast food category with its line of organic, ready-to-eat steel-cut oatmeal. 

 

Pacific Oatmeal promises to go from "box to bowl" in a matter of minutes, the company said. The product boasts 4 to 7 grams of protein and more than 25 grams of whole grains in every serving. 

 

“Most people who love steel-cut oats save them for the weekend because of the extra time and attention they require. With kids and pets and morning chaos, who’s got time to man the stove for thirty minutes?” said Kevin Tisdale, VP marketing for Pacific Foods. “Now, oatmeal lovers can cut corners on their morning routine because they know Pacific Foods didn’t.”

 

The oatmeal is available in five varieties: Apple & Cinnamon; Flax & Chia Power; Lightly Sweetened; Maple & Brown Sugar; and Unsweetened. Consumers can find the the product in natural food stores and grocers nationwide for a suggested retail price of $2.99.
