Four of Factor's fan-favorite recipes now available at Target stores.
“Expanding into Target allows us to meet customers where they already shop,” said Adam Park, Managing Director of Factor. “Whether you already know Factor or are discovering us for the first time, this makes it easier to grab a fresh, nutritionally balanced meal during a regular Target run.”
To preserve bold flavors and peak nutrients, Factor meals are chilled rather than frozen. Each meal in the initial assortment is high in protein, under 580 calories, and made without artificial colors, sweeteners, or refined sugars, delivering the same premium quality and balance that has established Factor as the market leader in the direct-to-consumer space.
The initial selection debuting at Target features four of Factor's fan-favorite recipes, ready to heat and enjoy in minutes:
- Smoky Gouda Chicken: Chicken breast smothered in a smoked gouda cream sauce, paired with rosemary-seasoned red potatoes and parmesan green beans.
- Creamy Mushroom Pork Chop: A savory pork chop topped with a truffle cream sauce, accompanied by garlic and thyme-roasted button mushrooms and red potatoes.
- Roasted Garlic Chicken: Chicken in a creamy garlic sauce, served alongside perfectly seasoned greens and yukon mashed potatoes.
- Shredded Chicken Taco Bowl: Seasoned shredded chicken over a bed of black beans and brown rice, topped with roasted corn salsa and cilantro crema.
The launch at Target is a pivotal step in Factor’s mission to make high-quality nutrition effortless. By expanding into retail, alongside future opportunities in campuses, hospitals, and corporate offices, Factor is evolving into a comprehensive meal solution that meets consumers wherever they are.
