The change has the potential to increase the availability of vaccines in smaller, more rural areas and decrease the number of wasted doses. 

So far, the Pfizer vaccine has been available in two packages: one with 450 doses and another with 1,170.

“As a company committed to making healthy snacking more accessible, Fresh Cravings is proud to now offer our hummus line to Kroger shoppers,” said Jay Whitney, chief marketing officer of FoodStory Brands, which owns Fresh Cravings. “We continue to see interest grow in plant-based food and sustainable packaging. We pushed ourselves to introduce a hummus with 100 per cent recyclable packaging to meet these demands.”
