The Yumbo Ginger Teriyaki sausage stick has been announced by the brand as the latest flavor of its signature meat snack that responds to the popularity of global cuisine in a convenient way. The product starts off with premium cuts of pork and beef, which are blended with the signature tangy flavor of teriyaki alongside notes of aromatic ginger. The result is a meat stick that embraces umami tasting notes, while also offering 11-grams of protein in each serving with no fillers, MSG or trans fat in the mix.
Senior Brand Manager for Old Wisconsin and Yumbo Charlie Kuoni commented on the Yumbo Ginger Teriyaki sausage stick saying, "With Ginger Teriyaki, we are hoping to excite our fans’ palates with a unique spin on one of the top selling flavors in the meat snack category. With eight in 10 Americans prioritizing protein during at least one eating occasion each day, we aim to entice new audiences with bold and intriguing taste that bridges from meal to meal perfectly."
