Al Fresco Chicken Sausage Wins Family Circle’s ‘Circle Of Excellence’ Award

CHELSEA, Mass. — al fresco – America's #1 chicken sausage – was recently awarded Family Circle's "Circle of Excellence" mark, announced in the April 17 issue. Family Circle's "Circle of Excellence", a consumer product award, recognizes five "editor recommended" and "mom-approved" winners in three categories including food, household products and beauty, recommending these products "with confidence."

"We are thrilled to receive this prestigious 'Circle of Excellence' mark," said Sarah Crowley, al fresco's Senior Brand Manager. "Family Circle is one of the nation's most trusted consumer magazines, and to receive their stamp of approval for al fresco is a great honor for us."

About Family Circle's "Circle of Excellence" Awards: Editors choose products in each of the three categories, which they believe embody "the award criteria of quality, value and exceeds brand expectations." These selected products are then sent to "mom testers" chosen from the Family Circle Roundtable consumer panel, a group of more than 7,000 women who, for the last four years, have been surveyed by the magazine in an effort to gain consumer insight on various areas of interest. Moms were given two weeks to test all of the products. At the end of the two-week period, the products that received the highest ratings were declared the winners of the "Circle of Excellence" mark.

Each of the products earning the "Circle of Excellence" mark is accompanied by an editor recommended, "mom approved" review.
