The popularity of panini sandwiches continues to grow, and Farm Rich's Mini Stuffed Panini is the perfect way to enjoy the warm sandwiches as appetizers, mini-meals, or snacks on-the-go. Each Mini Stuffed Panini is made with 100% natural mozzarella, Romano, and Parmesan cheeses, layered with all-white meat chicken and crispy bacon. These premium ingredients are then seasoned with a savory artichoke pesto sauce, stuffed in an open slice of flatbread, and grilled.

Mexican food is one of the largest and fastest growing segments of the frozen snack and appetizer industry, and Quesadilla Slices are a terrific addition to Farm Rich's already successful product lineup. Starting with a thin, authentic, tortilla-style crust, each Quesadilla Slice is stuffed with a special blend of 100% natural mozzarella, cheddar, & Monterrey Jack cheeses. These premium cheeses are then layered with quartered strips of grilled, all- white-meat chicken and zesty tomatillo salsa to produce an irresistible snack or appetizer.

Farm Rich is committed to providing wholesome foods made with real ingredients. Both Mini Stuffed Paninis and Quesadilla Slices fulfill this promise. They are good sources of protein and calcium, and they contain zero trans fat.

"Consumers today want to feel good about the foods they serve to family and friends," said Jennifer Meetz, Senior Marketing Manager. "They are looking for meals that are easy to prepare, can be served on a variety of occasions, and contain premium, all-natural ingredients. Farm Rich's new Mini Stuffed Paninis and Quesadilla Slices meet all three of these criteria."

The Mini Stuffed Paninis and Mini Stuffed Quesadillas are perfect for back-to-school parties with classmates, as tasty after-school snacks, or even as dinners on-the-run. And with Halloween quickly approaching, these products offer a quick and easy way to provide goblins with tasty treats that contain plenty of healthy protein. "We're making frozen appetizers suitable for more than one occasion," added Meetz. "Our new products offer consumers a variety of flavors and serving options, with something to please everyone."

Both new products have up-to-date, easy-to-use packaging, too. They are part of the company's lineup of family-sized, stand-up, re-sealable, gusseted bags.
