All Perdue Turkey Is Now No Antibiotics Ever, Offers Custom Merchandising And Rebate To Celebrate

Perdue Foodservice is proud to announce that 100% of the entire PERDUE® Brand Turkey product line is now part of their NO ANTIBIOTICS EVER portfolio. PERDUE® Turkey offerings include a wide breadth of products including a range of roasts – from premium pan roasts and raw roasts to oven-roasted turkey breasts – as well as sliced meats, burgers, franks, sausages and breakfast meats. Operators can expect to see all upgraded products in distribution by mid-June.

“The NO ANTIBIOTICS EVER distinction is very important to us,” said Chairman Jim Perdue. “The claim is transparent and absolutely clear: no antibiotics of any kind, at any time.”

With 55% of consumers reporting that poultry raised without antibiotics is important in their decision to visit a restaurant and 57% indicating that turkey raised without antibiotics was important in their decision to order a menu item,1 operators can look to PERDUE® NO ANTIBIOTICS EVER Turkey to satisfy patrons’ demand for premium proteins.

Perdue makes it easy for operators to communicate their commitment to high-quality ingredients and menu transparency by providing free merchandising materials. From now through August, operators can select and customize in-unit materials such as customizable posters and table tents, as well as server buttons, a social media guide, server training cards and menu language guidelines. Additionally, operators can earn up to a $300 rebate for purchasing at least 15 cases of PERDUE® Turkey products and submitting proof of PERDUE® Turkey menu mentions. To participate, operators can visit PerdueFoodservice.com/rebates.

With this conversion, the entire Perdue Foodservice turkey portfolio is now NO ANTIBIOTICS EVER, a significant step in foodservice. Continuing to lead the way in removing antibiotics from poultry, Perdue Foodservice now offers more than 150 NO ANTIBIOTICS EVER chicken and turkey foodservice products to operators across the country. As with the company’s NO ANTIBIOTICS EVER chicken products, the newly converted PERDUE® Turkey products are fed an all-vegetarian diet, with no animal by-products.

As the largest supplier of NO ANTIBIOTICS EVER chicken and turkey, plus the with the recent addition of PERDUE® HARVESTLAND® Organic Chicken to the foodservice lineup, Perdue has been transforming both the retail and foodservice markets by making these products readily available.
