OCG Show Daily Monday, June 5, 2017 5 4 MCKENZIE CONTINUES TO GROW ITS NATURAL ARTISAN DELI McKenzie, out of Burlington, Vermont, continues to grow its Natural Artisan Deli line. Focusing on only the highest quality meats and cheeses, McKenzie has grown the line to over 18 items. All of the items are all natural and sourced from independent farmers who believe as McKenzie does in raising animals without antibiotics or growth hormones – ever. If you haven't tried the prod- ucts, you should. With McKenzie Natural Artisan Deli, you never have to trade off product quality for the bene- fits of natural and antibiotic free. Each delicious item is clean tasting and delivers clean ingredients that your family will come back for time and time again. You can try the line in New York City at the Summer Fancy Food Show if you are planning to attend. The line includes turkey breast, uncured ham, rBST-free cheeses, chicken and American Angus roast beef. All items are crafted with natural ingredients like whole muscle meat, raw milk and pure Vermont maple syrup. McKenzie received Non- GMO Project certi- fication on both beef and ham items and will be rolling out the hams this summer. As a complement to the behind- the-glass deli items, McKenzie has a line of pre-sliced deli meats and cheeses. These items are perfect for people looking for the convenience of having product ready to use when they are. The product also comes in a con- venient resealable ziplock package for easy storage. When you choose McKenzie's Natural Artisan deli meat, that's just what you're getting – all- natural deli meat. Not meat plus hormones, meat plus antibiotics or meat plus anything, but all natural, locally sourced ingredi- ents like pure Vermont maple syrup and premium spices bathed in a signature blend of hardwood smoke. It's not just the tastiest way to do business; it's the only way McKenzie knows how. Find more information on McKenzie on Facebook at McKenzieDeli or at www.mckenziedeli.com.

NEW JAR SALAD KITS FROM FRESHWAY FOODS Freshway Foods, a subsidiary of US Foods, has developed a new line of salad kits which can be packaged in canning jars in the supermarket deli. The kits include all ingredients to make 12 com- plete salads, along with decorative labels and instruction sheets to assist deli oper- ators in assembling and marketing the salads. "Jar salads are one of the most pop- ular product categories on social media sites such as Pinterest and Instagram," says Chef Douglas Bond, New Product Development Manager for Freshway Foods. "These new salads appeal to con- sumers who want healthy meals that fit into a busy lifestyle," he adds. "When assembled in pint-sized, wide-mouth canning jars, the salads really capture your attention." Freshway Foods plans to show the new salad kits at the IDDBA show. "Consumers have been packing salads in jars for some time now, but this is new for retailers, so we expect these salads to be very popular at the show," says Bond. "We are offering three classic salad com- binations and one new salad with plant- based protein," he adds. "These salads will appeal to consumers of all ages." The new jar salad kits include: Chicken Caesar Salad – Traditional Caesar flavor, with romaine, tri-color rotini, cooked white meat chicken and parmesan cheese. Chef Salad – A perennial favorite, with romaine, tomatoes, carrots, cheddar cheese, turkey, ham and eggs. Cobb Salad – A classic salad with romaine, tomatoes, green onions, blue cheese, bacon and eggs. Protein Salad – On-trend flavors that foodies prefer, with baby spinach, broc- coli, corn, chickpeas, green peas, organic quinoa, dried cranber- ries, sunflower seeds and Parmesan cheese. The kits are designed for maxi- mum flexibility, as operators can utilize packaging they already have available in the deli area. The salads can be packed in pint-sized wide-mouth can- ning jars (not included), pint-sized cups or 24-ounce lidded bowls. Ingredients are packaged in the kits to allow deli operators to prepare six com- pleted salads at a time, to maximize shelf life and prevent shrinkage.
