WOOSTER, Ohio – Lower Foods, Richmond, Utah, has implemented allergen-free production for all of its processed meats. For the past 36 months, Lower Foods has been identifying ways to improve processes and recipes to achieve this qualification for the entire product line. Lower Foods’ products also have reduced sodium, adding to the company’s long-time focus on offering all products without MSG and gluten.
“We have improved product quality and given our customers the power to choose allergen-free meats,” says Alan Lower, president of Lower Foods. “We know how important a clean label is for many American consumers, making us proud to be a leader in this category.”
Among its premium products, Lower Foods offers customers a variety of beef, pork and poultry items. In the beef category, products include fresh Certified Angus Beef ® brand deli meats, corned beef, braised short ribs, cooked prime rib and pot roast.
Lower Foods’ allergen-free products qualify as being made without the “big 8” allergens. They are made without milk proteins, milk-derived products, all soy and soy related products, including ISP, hydrolyzed soy and soy concentrates. In addition to removing allergens, the company’s new processes allow for more “open oven roasting” for more tender texture to match their inherent flavor.
