WARREN, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul 10, 2026--
Blount Fine Foods, a fifth-generation family-owned maker of premium refrigerated soups, today announced refreshed packaging for its Blount’s Family Kitchen line, created to help shoppers recognize the brand’s fresh ingredients and protein-forward recipes at shelf.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260710773595/en/
The updated design reflects how today’s soup shoppers navigate the refrigerated deli section: quickly, visually and with interest in meals that deliver comfort, quality ingredients and nutrition. Blount’s Family Kitchen soups are kettle cooked and quick-cooled for the deli, reinforcing the belief that the best ingredients belong refrigerated—not canned.
“Soup remains one of the most comforting, versatile meals in the deli, and shoppers are looking for choices that feel fresh, flavorful and substantial,” said Bob Sewall, Chief Customer Officer & EVP of Sales & Marketing. “Our refreshed Blount’s Family Kitchen packaging helps the product work harder at shelf by spotlighting ingredients, refrigerated quality and meaningful protein callouts.”
Packaging Designed for Faster Recognition
The refreshed Blount’s Family Kitchen cup features a cleaner, more modern architecture that improves brand visibility and gives key product information a clearer role on pack. A new protein ribbon brings nutrition cues forward, and a bold black lid creates stronger shelf blocking. The opaque cup is slightly taller, improving presence in the refrigerated case while creating a premium look.
The refreshed Blount’s Family Kitchen packaging will appear this fall across participating retailers in the refrigerated deli and prepared foods section.
Built Around a Stronger Soup Portfolio
Blount’s Family Kitchen is part of a broader Blount Fine Foods refrigerated soup portfolio built around the varieties shoppers seek most. Blount Clam Shack leads the company’s seafood offerings, including New England Clam Chowder and Lobster Bisque, while Blount’s Family Kitchen focuses on comfort varieties, including chicken soups and beef chili, along with trendy flavors aimed at younger shoppers like lasagna soup with Italian sausage, cheesy chicken enchilada soup, and organic coconut lentil soups.
Together, the brands give retailers a refrigerated deli set focused on convenience, comfort, and protein-forward options —all backed by premium ingredients and kettle-cooked quality.
“We know shoppers want soups that taste homemade but fit real life,” said Todd Blount, CEO & President. “The refreshed packaging makes it easier for consumers to find the varieties they love while reinforcing the quality, freshness and protein cues that set Blount’s Family Kitchen apart.”
