HARRISBURG, Pa. — If you haven’t been in the dairy aisle lately, now is a great time to check out all that’s new.
June is National Dairy Month when you will find special deals, prices and promotions in the cool aisles of your local grocery story. And in celebration of the June promotion, the National Frozen & Refrigerated Foods Association (NFRA) sponsors a $10,000 Sweepstakes (enter at www.EasyHomeMeals.com).
Today’s modern dairy aisle is not your grandfather’s dairy aisle. “It has evolved over the years,” says chef, entertaining expert and TV personality James Briscione, “adapting to new lifestyle changes, food trends, and important dietary needs. No longer is it the aisle just for traditional staples like milk, eggs and butter. And it’s definitely not just dairy anymore.”

- On-the-go options for busy lifestyles – portable and perfectly portioned for flexible eating habits, from cheese sticks, yogurts, protein snacks, juices, hard-boiled eggs and more.
