EL SEGUNDO, California , May 18, 2012 (press release) – Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market has launched a new range of over 50 pre-seasoned, ready-to-cook items in stores just in time for the summer grilling season. The ‘Ready to Cook’ line includes beef, pork, chicken, fish and vegetable options all pre-marinated or pre-seasoned ready to go straight in the skillet, microwave or on the grill.

Fresh & Easy’s development chefs focused on unique and seasonal flavors when designing the new ‘Ready to Cook’ line and offer cooking recommendations on each package. The range showcases several seasonal ingredients including jalapeños, mangos, oranges and apricots. This announcement comes on the heels of Fresh & Easy’s summer wine expansion.
