Supermarket chain Kroger has expanded its Home Chef retail meal kits to 500 additional stores across the US.
Kroger also launched a customisable meal kit feature for online orders on homechef.com. Called Customize It, this new feature allows consumers to change and upgrade recipe ingredients in their meal kits.

Customize It offers more menu choices to customers such as no-cook five-minute meals and smoothies.
In June last year, the supermarket acquired Home Chef for $200m and merged the company into its operations.
The weekly rotating in-store meal kits were revealed last year in select locations, and limited market testing began for the new Home Chef Express kit.
Kroger merchandising senior vice-president Robert Clark said: “Kroger continues to redefine the customer experience and provide new ways to shop for, prep and cook meals through exciting brick-and-mortar and digital experiences.
