The New Product Exchange forum during the Cattle Industry's Annual Convention and Trade Show in Tampa Bay, Florida on February 6 showcased a new beef product from Schmaltz Retail Products, LLC. The product, Schmacon™, is a new patent pending product/process made from beef and offers flavor, convenience and nutrition advantages over conventional bacon.
More than thirty state beef council representatives attended the presentation by Schmaltz Retail Products, LLC President Howard Bender to learn how this product fits into today’s different day parts, lifestyles, and menus. The state councils tasted the product in its strip form, and then in beef slider and eggs Benedict applications.
The company expects Schmacon™ to be available for distribution into the retail, foodservice, healthcare, and military market segments in the next few months. Schmacon™ will become synonymous with "beef's answer to bacon," as Bender explained in interviews after the presentation.
