Cleveland Kitchen's Classic Coleslaw is Fully Prepared & Ready to Eat

— December 11, 2025 — Lifestyle
Cleveland Kitchen's Classic Coleslaw is a fresh addition to the produce aisle, and this mayo-free coleslaw is the first of its kind that's fully prepared and ready to eat. This crunchy, vibrant slaw is lightly fermented and packed with good-for-the-gut benefits, plus it's tossed in a vinaigrette-style dressing that's refreshingly light and a delicious alternative to heavier, creamier counterparts dressed with mayo.

The Classic Slaw is perfect for snacking straight out of the container, but it's also a great match for salads, sandwiches, burgers, tacos and other meals enjoyed year-round.

Classic Coleslaw is available now at all Kroger stores and banners (Ralph's, Fred Meyer, Fry's, King Soopers, Smith's, and QFC) in the produce department, and expands to additional retailers in early 2026.
