Johnsonville Introduces Two New Smoked-Cooked Sausage Varieties

The calendar says it is officially Spring and just in time for the 2013 grilling season, comes two new smoked-cooked sausage flavors from Johnsonville: Pepper Jack Cheese and Mushroom & Swiss Cheese. These two new naturally smoked-cooked sausage varieties will be available nationwide in select grocery stores through Labor Day, 2013. Real mushrooms and Swiss cheese deliver savory flavor, while the union of creamy Monterey Jack cheese, sweet peppers and jalapenos provide zest for smoked-cooked sausage fans. Both products are made with only premium cuts of pork, are gluten-free and contain no fillers. Pepper Jack cheese has become increasingly popular, according to Datassential, a restaurant market-research firm. They report that this menu offering on fast-food sandwiches has jumped more than 37% over the past four years, and its availability as a menu offering on fast-food burgers has grown more than 56% in the same period. While the combination of mushroom and Swiss has been a favorite for decades on burgers, Johnsonville is bringing that taste to its smoked-cooked sausage products. "Bringing flavorful, unique smoked-cooked sausage varieties is something our customers have come to expect from Johnsonville, and we're pleased to bring these new and fun, limited-time offer flavors for the 2013 grilling season," says Chris O'Toole, Johnsonville senior brand manager. "These special blends include ingredients that are visible in the sausage and are sure to complement the Johnsonville line of smoked-cooked sausage products."
