Sustainability
We’re working hard to reduce our environmental footprint. We recognize that it’s a journey. Check in regularly for updates on our progress.
The Kashi® Frozen Entrées have reduced their environmental impact.
As part of our mission to help people live their best lives, we recognize that the health of the earth plays a big part of this. That’s why we have reduced the packaging on our frozen entrees by 11%.* You’ll still receive the same amount of the delicious food you’ve come to love, only now with less packaging.
An 11% reduction equals 227 tons less packaging waste each year!
We’re concerned about conserving our earth’s natural resources and we’re proud to make this packaging change in that effort. A few small steps can make a big difference for our environment. Challenge yourself to find ways that you can help. Here’s a start:

*The total amount of material used in the primary and secondary components of the packaging has been reduced by 11% by weight. This includes the paperboard carton, plastic tray, tray film and corrugated shipping case. The components that form the package found on store shelves have approximately 14% less material by weight than our previous Kashi® entrée packages.
I appreciate that you use 1# plastic for your trays but what about using paper instead. I recycle but a lot of people don’t. Paper has a better chance of decomposing in a landfill. Please note that Seeds of Change uses paper trays.
The recycling program in my city does not accept frozen food packages because of a thin plastic film on the outside.
I also appreciate your trays being #1 plastic. However, I would like to encourage you to explore the potential for eliminating the paper / cardboard box entirely from your dinner entrees. I recognize that you have to include certain information on the packaging such as ingredients, nutrition, and contact information. However, I am hopeful that with some creative thinking, you will find a way to eliminate the use of the carton entirely. Thanks for great products!
