CARLSTADT, New Jersey – Schweid and Sons, owned by Burger Maker in Carlstadt, N.J., has launched a new line of fresh, consumer-packaged burgers featuring the Certified Angus Beef ® brand. Made with the finest, freshest whole-muscle cuts, the burgers offer consumers premium fresh burgers to enjoy year round.
“The better-burger category continues to grow in restaurants, and we believe this has created an underserviced segment in the market for premium burgers cooked at home,” says Jamie Schweid, executive vice president of Burger Maker. “We produce the freshest highest-quality burgers available so at-home chefs can serve the very best.”
The company’s “Custom Blend” burger is made from whole-muscle Certified Angus Beef ® brand chuck and brisket for a distinctive flavor profile. For the “One Percenter” burger in the Schweid and Sons line, chucks from Certified Angus Beef ® brand Prime are used, where less than 1.5% of beef meets the brand’s strict quality standards. Both items are available as 5.3 oz. burgers with 4 per package and 2.0 oz. burgers with 16 per package.
The product line’s traditional-looking, butcher paper sleeve overwrap utilizes tray-sealed packaging that makes an attractive addition to the meat case. The fresh products have a 21-day shelf life.
“We are excited about Schweid and Sons introducing these unique burgers,” say Brett Erickson, the Certified Angus Beef ® brand’s director of value-added products. “They have been known for producing excellent quality burgers in the restaurant business for four generations. This gives retailers an exceptional product offering and consumers more choices to enjoy the Certified Angus Beef ® brand’s fine quality.”
About Schweid and Sons
In the late 1800s, Harry Schweid started selling high-quality meats to butchers and restaurants in New York City’s Lower East Side. By the 1930s, his son Sam had his own business in Harlem, selling the best meat around. In 1978, the family channeled their expertise to one thing: ground beef. Today, that passion is carried on with a single-minded dedication to producing the best-tasting, highest quality burgers. Owned by Burger Maker, Schweid and Sons’ commitment to quality and service has been passed down from generation to generation, helping chefs and now consumers serve the very best.
