“Today's families are looking for meal solutions that fit the realities of modern life, and we’re proud to help make mealtime easier and more enjoyable every day,” comments Chris Faller, Del Monte Corporation, VP of Marketing, Foods Division. “Our latest offerings continue to challenge outdated perceptions of canned vegetables as a new generation of consumers prioritize taste and find convenient, affordable and reliable ways to put delicious food on the table.”

Making Way for Bold Taste
Del Monte® Ranch Flavored Whole Kernel Corn brings together two beloved brands that lead their respective categories in one flavorful, new product. Developed with Hidden Valley Ranch, known for delicious, versatile condiments and seasoning, the new canned corn combines Del Monte’s quality vegetables with the tangy, herby flavor of ranch. The launch marks the first product in an ongoing collaboration between Del Monte and Hidden Valley Ranch, with additional flavor-forward innovation planned for next year.

Del Monte® Zesty Italian Inspired Vinaigrette Cut Green Beans offer a tangy, spicy flavor inspired by one of America’s favorite dressing profiles. The new variety gives consumers an easy way to add a bright, savory kick to side dishes, bowls, casseroles, sheet-pan meals and more.

“Ranch is one of the most beloved flavors in America, while Italian inspired flavors continue to be a familiar favorite for consumers,” adds Faller. “With our latest bold-flavored vegetable offerings, we’re making it easier for households to bring craveable flavor to everyday vegetables. Our collaboration with Hidden Valley Ranch is one of the ways Del Monte is reimagining the canned vegetable aisle with convenient options that deliver on both quality and taste.”

Del Monte is the first brand to bring these two fan-favorite flavors to the center-of-the-store vegetable category, at a time when Gen Z and Millennial households are seeking convenient foods that deliver both flavor and value. Both new products are made with U.S.-grown vegetables, picked at the peak of freshness and crafted with non-GMO ingredients*. They can be enjoyed on their own as a simple side dish or incorporated into recipes for an easy flavor boost the whole family can enjoy.

Del Monte® Ranch Flavored Whole Kernel Corn and Del Monte® Zesty Italian Inspired Vinaigrette Cut Green Beans are now available on shelves across the U.S. at Giant Eagle, Price Chopper, Tops, Food Lion, Giant Food, Hannaford, Wakefern, Meijer, Schnucks, Hyvee, Price Chopper, Tops, Fareway, AWG, Niemann Foods, Spartan Nash and Amazon, and will be available at Kroger in early November.
