Rethink Lunch
Consumers can shake up their lunchtime routine with Hillshire Farm Grilled Chicken Breast from Sara Lee, an affordable line of fire-grilled, pre-cooked seasoned chicken breasts that are ready in minutes. Containing 120 calories and 19 grams of protein per serving, the microwaveable, preservative-free product line comes in four flavors. A 7-ounce package retails for a suggested $4.79. www.hillshirefarm.com


Going With the Grains
Bob's Red Mill Natural Foods has rolled out five additional whole grain products: Gluten Free Oat Bran; Gluten Free Extra Thick Rolled Oats; quick-cooking versions of the company's Steel Cut Oats, plus an organic version; and Southern-style White Corn Grits (polenta). SRPs range from $3.74 to $8.20. www.bobsredmill.com


Berry Convenient
Naturipe Farms LLC, in collaboration with Disney Consumer Products, has introduced Berry Quick Fresh Blueberry Snacks featuring well-known Disney characters on the package. The pre-portioned, single-serve packs not only make easy on-the-go snacks or lunch components, but they can also be added to a variety of foods as a topping. www.naturipefarms.com


Meet the New 'Boss'
Dawn Foods and Discovery Communications Inc. have formed a licensing agreement to create a line of ready-to-sell cakes inspired by the TLC series "Cake Boss." Using star Buddy Valastro's personal recipes and designs, the product line includes buttercream iced cakes timed to roll out this summer in tandem with the series' fifth season, followed in the fall by fondant iced cakes, marking the first time fondant has been used in mass production in the United States. www.dawnfoods.com


Tea With a Twist
Tazo Iced Tea Filterbags offer the same unique artisanal blends that Starbucks stores sell, only in a convenient sachet format that enables consumers to enjoy the refreshing teas anytime. The SRP is $3.99 for a 6-filterbag box that makes six pitchers of tea, or 48 servings. www.tazo.com


NONFOODS

Perfect Slice
The Dexas Watermelon Cutting & Serving Board provides a unique food prep experience. The nonslip raised green edge not only holds the BPA-free, dishwasher-safe cutting surface firmly and safely in place on the counter, it also acts as a raised barrier, keeping juice and seeds on the 17.5-inch-by-12-inch board. Retailing for a suggested $19.99, the propylene item is safe for all foods. www.dexas.com


Lamb From Down Under
Superior Farms, North America's largest processor and marketer of lamb, has formed a partnership with Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) to market Australian lamb burgers and sliders. This is the first time Australian lamb burgers will be commercially produced and readily available for the U.S. foodservice industry. These alternatives to traditional burgers offer a great opportunity to drive incremental traffic and sales by attracting young foodies. www.superiorfarms.com/lamb-burgers


Yogurt on a Stick
Yosicle combines the classic taste of classic Popsicle pops with creamy yogurt. Available in four varieties and three unique shapes — Torpedo, Layerz and Duos — the new item from Unilever contains 10 percent nonfat yogurt and is an excellent source of calcium per two-pop serving. The SRP is $3.99 per 19.2-ounce 12-count box. www.unileverusa.com


More Cheese to Choose From
Crystal Farms now offers 6-packs of 4-ounce individually wrapped spreadable 30-calorie cheese wedges, which come in three flavors, and pepper cheeses, which are available in 8-ounce packages of chunks or slices and come in three flavors, with the heat level noted on each label. SRPs vary, according to Crystal Farms, which has also bowed standup 8-ounce shredded cheese packaging that uses 20 percent less material. www.crytalfarmscheese.com/products


Greek Bar
Rickland Orchards has created the first-ever Greek Yogurt Bar. Featuring honey-roasted granola and real fruit dipped in authentic strained imported Greek yogurt, the shelf-stable bar contains fiber, protein and probiotics. The product comes in six flavors and retails for a suggested $1.49 to 1.79 per 1.4-ounce bar. www.ricklandorchards.com
