Fast food consumption in the U.S. is significant, contributing to health issues like obesity. Many consumers prefer healthier, convenient prepared foods, yet only 26% are satisfied with current supermarket options. Specialty grocers and chains like SpartanNash and Kroger are responding by improving healthy offerings in their deli sections and meal kits, emphasizing nutrition and variety. Turnkey salad bars, such as those provided by Picadeli, are also emerging to meet demand for fresh options without straining staff resources. Retailers see an opportunity to increase sales by addressing consumer health needs while maintaining competitive pricing.
