HERDEZ® Expands Refrigerated Entrée Line with Al Pastor Seasoned Shredded Pork

he makers of the HERDEZ® brand have introduced a new pork-based entrée to their growing line of Mexican Refrigerated Entrées: HERDEZ® Al Pastor Seasoned Shredded Pork with Sauce.

This heat-and-eat product features tender, seasoned shredded pork simmered in a rich, smoky sauce made with chipotle chilis, a hint of citrus, and traditional Mexican spices. Inspired by the street-style flavors of Tacos Al Pastor, the product offers consumers an easy way to enjoy authentic, pork-forward meals with minimal prep.

“Consumers are increasingly looking for global-inspired meal solutions that don’t sacrifice quality for convenience,” said Drew Parsons, Refrigerated Entrées Brand Manager at Hormel Foods. “This new variety makes it simple to serve a flavorful dish that tastes like it took hours to prepare.”

With the rise in demand for convenient protein options, particularly among busy and younger consumers, this entrée offers a solution that balances taste, ease, and quality — all while continuing to showcase the versatility and value of pork in the ready-meal segment.

HERDEZ® Al Pastor Seasoned Shredded Pork with Sauce is now available at major retailers nationwide, with a suggested retail price of $9.98–$10.98.
