Atkins helped promote the low-carb diet decades ago, but public interest in its branded plan has since faded. Still, low-carb lifestyles are important to many consumers. If Atkinscan significantly improve sales using this delivery method, its experience could show other manufacturers what it takes to succeed within this portion of the food and beverage e-commerce market.
This isn't Chef'd's first co-branded meal kit. Last month, itlaunched co-branded dessert meal kits with Hershey. Dessert meal kits aren't as well-known as traditional lunch or dinner options, but represent a new sub-segment that could become popular as consumers seek out new ways to indulge.
