Respect Foods, Inc. has introduced a line of three frozen breakfast sandwiches to the North American market. Featuring 100% whole grain English muffins and devoid of artificial colors, flavors or preservatives, the range is distributed is in single-serve packages.
“Customers are looking for brands to raise the bar,” said Kenny Hartman, president of the Palm Beach Gardens, Florida-based company. “They want fewer and more readable ingredients. If apple, maple, egg and cheese are in the product’s name, shoppers want to find those same words on ingredients labeling. We respect this expectation and deliver sandwiches containing more than 15 grams of protein that can be served up as a hot, energy-packed breakfast in less than three minutes.”
The following choices are available, each at a suggested retail price of $3.29:
- Apple Maple Chicken Sausage, Egg & Cheese. This offering, weighing in at 5.05-ounces, has 290 calories, 20 grams of protein (40% of the daily recommended value), and four grams of fiber.
- Turkey Bacon, Egg & Cheese. The four-ounce sandwich consists of antibiotic-free turkey bacon, white cheddar cheese and a whole egg patty on an English muffin. Serving up 16 grams of protein, it contains 380mg of sodium and the calorie count is 250.
- Double Egg & Cheese. Featuring a double serving of egg layered with white cheddar cheese on a muffin, the sandwich has 260 calories, 16 grams of protein and only 330mg of sodium.
