Suitable for vegetarians, Express offers a quick, simple way to add one of your five a day to your diet without compromising on quality and taste (when used as a single portion).

Express uses quality chunky vegetables and the light sauces really complement the vegetables and bring out their natural flavour. They are perfect for busy people who want to include vegetables in their diet. All of the Express products score at least 2 green traffic lights (as measured against FSA signpost labelling standards) with 'Broccoli, red pepper and soya beans' scoring all 4 green lights.

Express was developed as a result of extensive consumer research conducted by McCain which revealed that vegetables were the first thing people skipped when it came to making dinner because they are so unrewarding. McCain Express offers an everyday solution.
