Sheboygan, Wis. – Appealing to growing demand for lean meat snacks that are delicious and better for you, Old Wisconsin introduced two new turkey meat snack products at the 2012 IDDBA Dairy-Deli-Bake. Old Wisconsin Turkey Snack Slices and Old Wisconsin Turkey Summer Sausage feature the authentic, hardwood-smoked flavoring the brand is famous for, but with less fat and calories than traditional meat snacks. These products are also trans fat and gluten free. The addition of these new products makes Old Wisconsin the only meat snack brand to offer turkey meat snack alternatives in Sticks, Bites, Slices and Summer Sausage.
"Americans consume more turkey than any other nation, and we're proud to satisfy that demand by bringing consumers and our retailers the largest selection of turkey meat snack products in the industry," said Jeff Weber, Old Wisconsin national sales manager.
According to a 2011 Datamonitor survey, 52 percent of Americans say they are making a conscious effort to eat healthier most of the time. This trend has contributed to a nearly 30 percent increase in sales of Old Wisconsin turkey products.
Made with only the finest ingredients and spices, details on these new Old Wisconsin turkey meat snack products include:
* Old Wisconsin Turkey Snack Slices: This 6 oz. package includes ready-to-eat, perfectly seasoned turkey slices.
