Chilled foods, delicatessen foods & ready meals

Article Abstract:

Increased demand for convenience foods is one of the major trends in the chilled, delicatessen and ready meal markets in France, Italy, Germany, Spain and the UK. The perishable nature of these products prevent them from becoming highly marketable in foreign markets. Health issues are likely to continue consumer's preference for these products. Successful products will be those that can meet the needs of highly 'snacking' consumers.
