al fresco all natural Expands Frozen Offerings With Launch Of Two New Fully Cooked Products Lines

CHELSEA, Mass., Sept. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- al fresco all natural – America's #1 chicken sausage brand – today announced the addition of two new gourmet, all-natural, fully cooked product lines in the freezer case – Gourmet Chicken Meatballs and Breakfast Chicken Sausages. These launches expand upon al fresco's successful initial entry into the freezer case in March 2014 with Gourmet Grillers Chicken Burgers.

al fresco Frozen Gourmet Chicken Meatballs and Breakfast Chicken Sausages continue al fresco's mission of making it easier to eat better. Each has 40 percent less sodium and 60 percent less fat than the traditional pork and beef alternatives. Both products are made from lean, skinless chicken meat, and are gluten-free and pork-free. The new frozen meatballs and sausages go directly from freezer to stovetop or oven and, because they come in several gourmet flavors, there is no need to spend extra time on marinating, defrosting or other preparation.

"We know that preparing healthy and delicious meals can be a time-consuming task," said Sarah Crowley, Director of Marketing at Kayem Foods. "These new frozen products feature the high-quality, all-natural ingredients that people have come to expect from al fresco, helping to make healthy cooking more convenient than ever before. Based on the success of our frozen Gourmet Chicken Grillers launch earlier this year, we know that more consumers are looking for these better-for-you options in the freezer aisle."

Both products come in a variety of flavors, making them a delicious and healthy option for any meal. The Frozen Breakfast Chicken Sausages come in two flavors:

• Country Style, with a hint of sage & thyme
• Apple Maple, with pure Vermont maple syrup

The Frozen Gourmet Chicken Meatballs are available in three flavors, including:

• Italian Style, with fresh basil and mozzarella
• Caramelized Onion, with roasted garlic
• Spicy Jalapeno & Pepper Jack, with roasted peppers and Monterey Jack cheese
