When it comes to ready meals packaging, France is in the grips of a convenience craze. A “box” concept has taken off, and among the newest entries into this category is the Choucroute Box from French food manufacturer Stoeffler. Contents are traditional sauerkraut with cabbage, sausage, bacon, and potatoes. But everything is cut into small pieces so that the consumer doesn’t need a knife or a surface on which to cut. An added convenience bonus is the fork included in the package, which makes the dish ready to eat once it’s been microwaved.
