general mills freezer to plateGeneral Mills has launched its newest dinner solution, Freezer to Plate—an expansion of The Good Table product line that brings gourmet-style meal preparations to frozen chicken. Freezer to Plate pairs one of four new restaurant-inspired sauce varieties with rice or pasta.
