Start Making Choices
The Innovation Kitchen
A taste of our history.

The Healthy Choice story begins in 1985 with ConAgra Foods Chief Executive Officer Charles M. ("Mike") Harper. While traveling through California on business, this hot-fudge-sundae lover suffered a mild heart attack. Although he made a full recovery, he now needed to consider certain health issues. So he began a search for foods that satisfied both his taste and health needs. His search for such foods, however, proved unsuccessful so he took it upon himself to bring such a product to market—and Healthy Choice was born!

All Healthy Choice products today are built on the same philosophy Mike Harper had more than a decade ago—foods that are made from real ingredients and prepared in such a way that high quality flavor and nutrition are maintained. For instance, our traditional Fudge Bars are made with real milk and cocoa, and are satisfying and delicious. And, you'll find chunks of white meat and hearty vegetables in our Hearty Chicken Soup.

ConAgra Foods quickly embraced Harper's idea and introduced the first line of Healthy Choice products in 1988, consisting of 10 Frozen Meals. More than 15 years later, Healthy Choice offers more than 200 products that expand to a variety of food categories, none of which compromise on taste or nutrition. In addition to the original frozen entrees, our Pasta Sauces and Soups make a great addition to lunch or dinner. Create a delicious sandwich with our Hearty 100% Whole Grain bread, and enjoy our Frozen Novelties as a low-fat snack.

And, as Healthy Choice continues to grow, the food will always live up to the promise that you will enjoy what you're eating and feel good about it, too.
