Bernard Matthews Food Service re-launches three popular breaded products in healthy, ‘Litecrumb’ versions for the Big Green Tick range:
Turkey Premiere
Crispy Crumb Turkey Burgers
Golden Drummers
Inside, the products are made using 100% turkey breast – the ideal choice for healthier options since it is naturally low in fat, higher in protein than other mainstream meats and rich in nutrients such as B6, B12 and zinc. On the outside – crucially – they use the company’s new ‘Litecrumb’. This means although they are breadcrumbed they are not fried during any part of their production.
The key to the new products is the development of Litecrumb, a non-fry breadcrumb that tastes just as good as the traditional variety. It has a great, crunchy bite, whilst keeping the turkey breast meat beautifully moist and tender. Standard breaded products achieve this by pre-frying during manufacture, whilst previous ‘non-fry’ breadcrumbs have tended to produce very ‘dry’ results. Litecrumb combines the best of all worlds – the great taste of the traditional, with the health advantages of non-fry.
The Litecrumb products also comply fully with the new School Food Trust recommendations, due to be implemented in August 2007. They will help school meal providers meet the restrictions on deep fried foods because, unlike traditional breaded products, they are not restricted under healthy eating guidelines and can be served ‘anytime’ on school menus.
They are part of the Big Green Tick range, Bernard Matthews Food Service’s exciting new initiative designed to help get school meals working again by creating healthy menu options that children will want to eat.
