Healthy Choice is a well-known brand of foods. They make many refrigerated and frozen meals. These foods are owned by a company called ConAgra Foods.

The idea for Healthy Choice came from a real-life event. In 1985, the CEO of ConAgra, Charles "Mike" Harper, had a heart attack. This made him change his diet to eat healthier. He then thought of creating a line of healthier frozen foods for everyone.

What Healthy Choice Offers

Healthy Choice sells a wide variety of food items. You can find their frozen dinners in many stores. They also offer side dishes and different kinds of meats.

Many Food Choices

The brand makes canned soups, which are quick and easy. They even have ice cream and bread. You can also find pasta sauce and popcorn under the Healthy Choice name. This means they have options for many different meals and snacks.

Changes and Promotions

In April 2009, Healthy Choice updated its frozen meals. They also launched new products, like "All Natural Entrees." These new items aimed to offer even healthier choices.

Spreading the Word

To tell people about these changes, Healthy Choice spent a lot of money on advertising. They used a big campaign that included TV commercials. Famous actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus appeared in these ads. The commercials were directed by Christopher Guest. The brand also got new packaging designs for its products.

Healthy Choice Around the World

The ownership of the Healthy Choice brand can be different in various countries. In Canada, the brand is still part of ConAgra Brands.

International Ownership

However, in Australia, a Canadian company called McCain Foods owns the Healthy Choice name. This shows how food brands can be managed by different companies in different parts of the world.
