Perdue debuts 2 new products
Perdue is unveiling two meal and snacking lines in its portfolio, Flavor-Infused Chicken and Chicken Plus Snackers.
The company said the product lines were developed as part of its continued focus on providing innovative, flavorful products that give consumers simple, high-quality, better-for-you options for meals and snacking occasions.
Perdue Flavor-Infused Chicken comes refrigerated, ready to heat and eat, is 100% natural and minimally processed without artificial ingredients, and is available in sesame ginger, green chili and Greek varieties.
"Our chickens are raised with no antibiotics ever. Perdue uses a ‘sous vide’ cooking process to vacuum seal and slow-cook the chicken, resulting in ultra-tender, extra juicy, flavor-infused chicken fully cooked to perfection," the company said.
