Somma Food Group Expands Chickentopia™ Offering with Nitrate, Nitrite Free Hot Dogs and Mini Corn Dogs

DALLAS, Nov. 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Somma Food Group announced today the successful launch of Chickentopia™ brand fully cooked, uncured chicken franks and mini corn dogs. The new items are part of the line of retail-inspired products created to adhere to strict school nutrition guidelines, while delivering a delicious and exclusive menu experience to students.

The company, which currently partners with several of the largest school districts in the country to supply unique and healthful food solutions, says the launch of these items can have a huge impact on the menus of school districts across the country.

"We pride ourselves on only launching products that we are confident will succeed in the lunchroom and make a positive impact on students' meal choices," says Kevin Potter, VP of Sales."Schools have long been asking for a chicken hot dog and mini corn dog that meet school nutrition regulations, but still resemble options that kids see outside of school." 

The Chickentopia™ line of products boasts an extensive list of clean label attributes, including the utilization of chicken that has never, ever been given antibiotics and never, ever fed animal byproducts. "When we started this process over 6 months ago, we knew we wouldn't stop until we made the best product out there," says Gary Hamm, VP of Marketing, of the hot dog and mini corn dog. "Both of these items are nitrate and nitrite free, contain less than 280mg of sodium and actually taste like a hot dog you'd pick up at the ballpark."

In addition to not adding nitrates or nitrites to its products, Somma Food Group has vowed to avoid using fillers or mechanically separated chicken, ingredients commonly found in most hot dog and corn dog products. The company hopes to see the hot dog and mini corn dog on school menus as early as next semester, and has already begun conversations to get the products into several of the country's top school districts.
