The History of Dr. Praeger’s

Motivated by what they saw in their practices and eager to help families adopt more sensible eating habits, they sourced nutritious ingredients and crafted easy-to-prepare dishes for all. More than 25 years later, not much has changed when it comes to the brand’s goals, but they’ve expanded their product line to meet the demands of our modern lifestyles so a healthy meal is always within reach.
