To Top it Off, Organic Prairie Now Offering Pepperoni in 5 oz. Packages
Pepperoni makes pizza perfect, submarines stupendous and hot hoagies heavenly. To help you make these meals truly organic, Organic Prairie is offering Pepperoni by the slice in 5 oz. packages.
The launch marks the first time Organic Prairie will offer its Pepperoni retail.
Made from Organic Prairie's humanely raised organic beef and pork, the sliced Pepperoni features no synthetic nitrates or nitrites and—unlike any other organic pepperoni—is cured with celery juice and produced solely in the United States.
"There's an authentic Old World flavor to our Pepperoni," said Tedd Heilmann, Organic Prairie general manager. "We feel that's due in large part to the fact that the most delicious meats come from animals raised according to very strict organic production standards on the family farms that cooperatively own Organic Prairie."
Organic Prairie follows a seven-step "safety net," a rigorous code of conduct that ensures their meat is as healthy and wholesome as possible. This includes testing all Organic Prairie meat for bacteria before it leaves their processing facilities, Heilmann added.
"In addition, our hogs and cattle are raised unconfined and bedded on thick straw, given plenty of room to roam with access to fresh air and sunshine, and our cattle graze regularly on certified organic pasture," he said.
Organic Prairie's hogs and cattle are given 100% organic feed, with no animal byproducts. They are never given antibiotics or hormones.
Organic Prairie's 5 oz. Pepperoni packages will be available in grocery stores beginning April 1, 2008.
