Brand al fresco Launches Tastes Just Like Chicken Sausages

Al fresco all natural, known for its selection of high-protein and time-saving chicken products, has launched its Tastes Just Like Chicken Sausages. The products will be on shelves at Stop & Shop and gain additional retailer distribution over the summer.

Inspired by iconic chicken dishes, the Tastes Just Like line features four varieties of fully cooked chicken sausages. Chicken Burrito spices up meal time with a blend of chili seasonings, black beans and fire-roasted corn, while Nashville Hot Chicken melts together savory flavors of roasted garlic and toasty onion with buttermilk, dry mustard and a touch of sweet brown sugar. For fans of classic Italian cuisine, the flavors of mozzarella, parmesan and Romano cheeses, tangy sun-dried tomatoes, garlic and basil in the Chicken Parm offer a delicious take on this staple dish and for a take-out favorite at home, the Fried Rice sausage is loaded with whole peas, sweet carrots, green onion, sesame oil, garlic and ginger. Each package contains five sausage links.

“With Tastes Just Like, we set out on a mission to provide consumers with an unexpected variety of flavors while prioritizing easy meal preparation for busy lifestyles,” said Matt Monkiewicz, CEO of Kayem Foods, a manufacturer of al fresco. “The fully cooked dinner category hasn’t seen innovation in the last 10 years, despite consumers actively looking for alternatives to traditional flavors, so we’re excited to make adding chicken to your diet more convenient and delicious than ever before.”

The Tastes Just Like Chicken Sausages are antibiotic-free, contain no artificial ingredients and feature 100-110 calories and 9-10 grams of protein per serving. With 70 percent less fat than pork and beef products, the sausage is also gluten-free.
