WESTMINSTER, Col. – Niman Ranch’s Uncured Bacon Breakfast Sausage was named a PEOPLE Magazine 2021 Food Award winner. The new links, featuring Niman Ranch’s artisanal uncured Applewood-smoked bacon, were selected as Best Breakfast Sausage by PEOPLE editors who sampled more than 2,000 different products released in the past year to identify the very best. The coveted award will be featured in magazines distributed across the country, reaching millions of readers and home cooks.
“Outstanding in every way!” a PEOPLE staffer raved about the breakfast links.
