For individuals battling decreased appetite and energy, unintentional weight loss and fatigue while undergoing cancer treatment, Hormel Foods has introduced the HORMEL VITAL CUISINE™ line of packaged Ready to Eat meals, nutrition shakes and whey protein powders. Designed specifically to support the unique nutritional needs of cancer patients, the product portfolio is power-packed with nutrition, providing a much-needed balance of proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
Developed with support from experts at the Cancer Nutrition Consortium (CNC), an organization comprised of nutritionists, dieticians, oncologists and physicians from leading cancer research institutions, along with professional chefs, HORMEL VITAL CUISINE products are nutrient- and protein-rich – a huge benefit to patients who often battle a drastic loss of energy and muscle mass while going through cancer treatment. To ensure great taste, product developers also worked alongside some of the country's top chefs including chefs from the Culinary Institute of America.
