'Top Chef' star named Healthy Choice flavor ambassador

NEW YORK — ConAgra Foods announced that "Top Chef" contestant Ryan Scott has earned a title whereby he will promote an exclusive line of Healthy Choice items.

As part of last month's launch of the new line of Healthy Choice Top Chef Inspired Café Steamers, "Top Chef" hosted a competition-based original Web series, "Top Chef Healthy Showdown" on BravoTV.com. As a result of winning the “Top Chef Healthy Showdown” challenge, Scott was named the “flavor ambassador.”

“We’re really excited to have Ryan represent the Healthy Choice brand as flavor ambassador, and look forward to collaborating with him,” Healthy Choice VP and general manager Carlos Veraza said. “With Ryan’s passion for wholesome, simple and delicious dishes, and his overall expertise combined with our innovative culinary experts, we can continue to create and deliver food that exceeds the expectations of our consumers.”
