“This new look is a result of extensive consumer research to direct and validate the design,” said David Austin, VP Product Innovation. 

The executive also said that the new packaging is a “bolder, more contemporary stand-out design featuring a larger window to spotlight freshness, quality, and diversity of ingredients.”

“These new Chopped Salad Kit flavors were developed through an extensive R&D process to deliver the popular flavors salad users are seeking and to validate those flavors to ensure they meet customer expectations,” Austin said.
