Foster Farms Enters Premium Lunchmeat Category with New Line of Lower Sodium, All Natural Sliced Turkey

Foster Farms is introducing a new line of premium All Natural Sliced Turkey lunchmeat available now at retailers throughout California and the Pacific Northwest. The product is available in two flavors: Slow Oven Roasted Turkey Breast and Honey Roasted & Smoked Turkey Breast. Foster Farms All Natural Sliced Turkey is free of nitrates and nitrites and 98 percent fat free. Simply roasted, sliced and packaged, the new line of premium turkey lunchmeat is made with 100 percent turkey breast and contains no chemicals, preservatives, artificial ingredients or colors, company officials say. The Slow Oven Roasted Turkey Breast has 35 percent less sodium than the average sliced turkey breast, officials add. “We wanted to create a new line of premium lunchmeats that boasted nutritional benefits without sacrificing great taste or quality,” says TJ Johnson, director of marketing for Foster Farms turkey. “More consumers are looking for natural food options without preservatives, nitrates or nitrites, and we take pride in meeting that demand with our new premium line of Foster Farms All Natural Sliced Turkey lunchmeat. We have received great feedback from consumers who love the product taste and appreciate the lower sodium content.” The product comes in convenient eight-ounce, re-sealable packages and retails for $5.99. Foster Farms uses a high-pressure pasteurization (HPP) process for its All Natural Sliced Turkey which eliminates the need for any and all preservatives while maintaining optimal taste and freshness.
