Eat Right, Live Better: Kroger Teams Up With Performance Kitchen For Medically Tailored Meals

Kroger Company KR said its healthcare division is collaborating with Performance Kitchen to offer medically tailored meals (MTMs). 

Kroger’s first evidence-based, registered dietitian-approved meals will offer nutrition intervention for people with various health conditions like diabetes, heart disease and cancer.

MTMs are created to meet the specific needs of individuals and have the potential to improve a person's overall health and wellness.

The Performance Kitchen and Kroger Health MTMs include options such as Chicken Dijon with Kale, Moroccan Style Chicken with Quinoa, Vegetable Chickpea Curry, and Salmon Pasta. 

The meals are frozen, single serve and ready to heat, making them convenient for people conscious of time.

A recent simulation modeling study by researchers at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University estimated that MTM programs could help prevent 1.6 million hospitalizations and save health insurers $13.6 billion across the country in one year after paying for the cost of food.
