Did you know there’s a new bacon in town, and it’s called Schmacon. Schmaltz Deli Co. is officially introducing Schmacon, which is a beef alternative to regular bacon, at the National Restaurant Association convention in May. The checkoff’s Beef Innovations Group has been working with Schmaltz to make this new and exciting product ready for commercialization for more than a year. Schmacon is lower in fat, calories, and sodium than traditional bacon and also has its own unique taste and crispness. This product will not only be positioned for breakfast, but also as an ingredient during lunch and dinner meals.
