Johnsonville Sausage has launched its new Pork & Chicken Sausage—available in Traditional Brat and Mild Italian. These new sausage varieties have 50 percent less fat and are now available at select retailers nationwide.
“At Johnsonville, we know there is nothing like a summer cookout with family and friends,” says Amber Brandimarte, Johnsonville senior brand manager. “We also know many folks are looking for better-for-you options to enjoy on the grill. We’re so excited we finally have what people have been looking for—the amazing flavor of Johnsonville, with half the fat. There’s just nothing else like it.”
Managing weight and getting in shape for summer doesn’t have to mean sacrificing the flavor you love, adds dietitian Sarah-Jane Bedwell. She recommends keeping protein a staple at each meal, to help increase satisfaction and reduce the desire to snack.
“Single-serving protein sources, such as a container of low-fat yogurt, a 100-calorie pack of nuts or a link of Johnsonville Pork & Chicken Sausage, are excellent ways to keep calories in check while getting the perfect amount of protein,” says Bedwell.
Johnsonville Pork & Chicken Sausage is made with a blend of herbs and spices, as well as the freshest cuts of pork, blended with naturally lean chicken. Traditional Brat and Mild Italian are two options perfect for summer grilling. Both new products have 50 percent less fat and 0g trans fat.
Johnsonville Pork & Chicken Sausage is now available in select retailers nationwide for a suggested retail price of $5.49. Johnsonville fully-cooked Chicken Sausage is available at retailers nationwide for a suggested retail price of $4.49.
