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!
Just bought some of your frozen products and am shocked. Directions say to microwave. Your company can not be considered health conscious if these are your directions and only way to cook your products. Will no longer buy and can not recommend to anyone.
