McCain launches NEW Express – veg worth eating!

What vegetables did you have for dinner last night? Did they add to your enjoyment of the meal or were they just 'duty veg' there to add towards your five a day? Now you can add more excitement to your meals in under 5 minutes with NEW McCain Express – generous single portions of mixed vegetables in a light and tasty sauce, always on hand in the freezer.

NEW Express is an enticing vegetable range designed to make everyday vegetables more interesting and hassle-free. They come in a steamable pouch so you can steam the vegetables in the microwave in less than 5 minutes, and as they are frozen they keep at peak freshness in the freezer. 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 high quality chunky vegetables and the light delicious sauces have been chosen to complement the vegetables and bring out their natural flavours.

Mouth-wateringly delicious and versatile, 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.

McCain Senior Brand Manager, Chris Lever, comments “Express was developed as a result of extensive consumer research. People told us vegetables were the first thing they skipped when it came to making dinner because they are so unrewarding. Using the high quality vegetables with carefully selected complementary sauce combinations, McCain Express offers an everyday solution. They make vegetables worth eating at meal times in a speedy way".

  • For a satisfying but simple lunch, chop up precooked chicken and mix McCain Express with microwaveable rice or pasta. Lunch in less than 5 minutes.
