Introducing Microwavable Sauce in a Pouch from Ragu

Ragu continuously seeks ways to make our products more convenient and healthy for busy families.

02/05/08 Juggling a crazy schedule between soccer practices and PTA meetings? Forget to thaw out the chicken before you left for work? With new Ragu Fresh & Simple microwavable pouches, having a hot, nutritious meal on the table for the family is faster than saying "Drive-Thru."

According to a recent survey by Ragu, 57% of moms said it's difficult to find a meal for their family that is both nutritious and convenient to prepare in under 30 minutes. That's why Ragu has developed the next evolution of pasta sauce, Ragu Fresh & Simple pouch, packaged in a 90-second microwavable pouch, leaving no messy pots to clean or half-empty jars in the fridge. With new Ragu Fresh & Simple pouches, quick, wholesome weeknight meals are as easy as "clip it, pop it, pour it" -- simply clip the corner of the pouch to vent, pop it in the microwave, pour the sauce directly onto pasta, and toss out the empty package.

"Ragu continuously seeks ways to make our products more convenient and healthy for busy families," said Donna Barker, Marketing Director for Unilever. "We are proud to have created a product with the great taste and wholesome goodness of traditional Ragu, updated for the changing needs of today's on-the-go families."

Like Ragu traditional sauces, Ragu Fresh & Simple pouch products are all- natural with no artificial additives or preservatives. Plus, kids still get a full serving of veggies in every 1/2 cup of sauce without any added sugar. Ragu Fresh & Simple pouch products are also a good source of Fiber, Vitamins A, C and E, contain lycopene, and have no cholesterol, trans or saturated fat per serving.
