<p><strong>Irwindale, CA</strong><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"> With the buzz surrounding nutrition and the new standards that were established under the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, Ready Pac Foods, producer of fresh-cut produce and other value-added fresh foods, is answering the call for healthier eating. The company has been providing healthy products for school-age children for many years with items like the company’s lines of Cool Cuts® snacks and Ready Snax® products that offer easy alternatives for parents to pack healthy snacks with their kid’s school lunches.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"> Understanding children’s taste preferences is a key to the success of the Ready Pac program, according to a press release, because if children don't enjoy the healthy options then getting them to consume them becomes an issue.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"> “Ready Pac works with school systems on incorporating healthy meals for kids into menu planning, and last school year we conducted recipe development work for a major metropolitan school system,” said Tristan Simpson, Director of Marketing at Ready Pac. “We built on that experience, and now Ready Pac is starting off the school year with a new value-added program to help schools across the nation meet the new federal guidelines.”<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"> <a class="btn btn-sm btn-primary col-lg-12" style="white-space: normal;" href="http://www.readypac.com"target="_new">Ready Pac</a></p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
