"Our core purpose is to bring families together through food people love with a goal of creating fun, convenient and fulfilling family dinners. We are thrilled to know, through awards like this, that we are creating real value for Moms and Dads and their families."
Technomic Consumer Brand Metrics is a brand performance study that is run on an ongoing basis.
