It said the brand will favour products that “prioritise taste, quality ingredients and ease, at a great value”. Some 650 Good & Gather products will be available in stores and online from 15 September.
Stephanie Lundquist, the group’s executive vice president and president of the food and beverage business at Target, said: “Our guests are incredibly busy and want great-tasting food they can feel good about feeding their families. We saw this as a huge opportunity for Target to help. So our team got to work on our most ambitious food undertaking yet, re-imagining our owned food brands to serve up convenient, affordable options that don’t cut corners on quality or taste.”
Good & Gather is Target’s largest own-brand launch. It will include products across food and beverage from dairy, ready-made pasta and meats to granola bars and sparkling water.
The products are made without artificial flavours and sweeteners, synthetic colours and high fructose corn syrup.
