Dietz & Watson's Snacking Line Continues to Expand More than two-thirds of all U.S. adults snack at least twice a day, according to a recent report from market intelli- gence company Mintel. However, many consumers are altering their food intake and snacking choices, in large part due to medical conditions includ- ing obesity and heart disease linked to unhealthy diets. That's why Dietz & Watson has been busy expanding its choices, adding a line of healthier snacks as part of the Dietz & Watson Originals line of no antibiotics ever and organic items. As an emerging market in an estab- lished space, the "better for you" snack- ing category has room to grow as con- sumers look for healthier snacking options. To compete with a host of other snack options on the market, Dietz & Watson is focusing on the use of familiar whole food ingredients, a wide assort- ment of offerings, innovative flavors and dynamic packaging that improves con- sumer interest and convenience in healthy snacking. This Philadelphia-based company has become a national leader in the production of premium no antibiotics ever and organic franks and sausages, deli meats, rBGH-free cheeses and now, a large variety of organic and no antibiotics ever snacking items. Dietz & Watson partners with responsible family farms that sup- ply meats that are humanely raised, without the use of hor- mones for growth pur- poses. These items are all no antibiotics ever and include organic options as well. From high protein charcuterie snacks and beef jerky certi- fied organic by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to rBGH-free cheese snacks, to salami medallions and more, this "better for you" Originals snack- ing line positions Dietz & Watson for growth in the category for years to come. One new item in the Originals snacking line has been making a big splash since the company featured them in a Super Bowl ad this January: Dietz Nuts. These protein- packed savory sausage bite-sized snacks were promoted in an ad fea- turing Craig Robinson of The Office and his real-life brother Chris. These delicious snacks come in two flavors: Honey Maple and Original Smoked. New flavors are in the works and will be released soon. Through the years, the company has remained true to its original old-world recipes and the founder's commitment to "Quality Above All Else," by crafting the finest premium meats that are never frozen, hand-trimmed and seasoned by master butchers. Dietz & Watson's deli meats and cheeses are always free of arti- ficial flavors, colors, fillers, extenders and MSG.

JSL Foods Reconnects with Family Legacy By Lorrie Baumann JSL Foods has re-established a relation- ship with the company's founding fami- ly by naming Jade Wong Lucas as National Accounts Sales Manager. As National Accounts Manager of Foodservice, Lucas is now promoting the Twin Dragon brand her grandfather created 65 years ago. Her grandfather, Hailey On Wong opened Main On Company in 1954, producing authentic Asian won-ton wrappers, egg rolls, pot- sticker wraps, tofu and bean sprouts, which he sold to local restaurants and bodegas in and around the Los Angeles area. "The company started with my grandfather as Main On. We then creat- ed the Twin Dragon brand. Under that brand, we sold almond cookies, Asian noodles," Lucas said. The company passed out of the fam- ily's ownership in the early 1970s, and although Lucas was still involved in the same industry, she had been working for one of JSL Foods' competitors. "The owner reached out to me. We started talk- ing, and he gave me an opportunity to move over to this company," she said. "At first, I was very hesitant going to the competition, but with the Twin Dragon brand it held a legacy to me personally." In her new position, she calls on national restaurant accounts all over the country representing JSL Foods and showcasing its Asian noodles, pasta and wraps, which are non-GMO verified, certified vegan and cholesterol free. "One thing I really love about this job is the ability to make an impact in grow- ing the business. The owners give me an ability to grow this business with a lot of support. With product that is innovative, that meets customer needs with portion control, with clean label – these are some of the new demands that our industry asks for," she said. "We have the ability to have a noodle with protein added, the ability to incorporate green pea or spinach noodles or black bean noodle. These are added features for the noodle that gives added value to the noodle for the consumer. Asian noo- dles are as different as pastas, ramen, yakisoba, udon. What we do here at JSL Foods is that we do a lot of customiza- tion for our customers' needs and pref- erences." For more information, visit www.jslfoods.com or email Lucas at jlucas@jslfoods.com.
