Hormel Foods is preparing to launch Jennie-O Turkey Tacos Mini Soft Taco Kits in a bid to appeal to US consumers looking for a "better-for-you" snack or light meal.

"At Jennie-O, we understand people want quick and easy solutions to make it easy to eat well," said Wendy Benson, associate product manager at Jennie-O Turkey Store. "We created Turkey Taco kits to provide a convenient, great tasting, better-for-you turkey mini meal option from a brand that consumers trust."

With an RRP of US$5.99 each kit includes cooked and seasoned ground turkey, cheese and four flour tortillas. The kits will be available in stores throughout the US from mid-October.
