Zatarain's Cajun Style Smoked Sausage is headed to grocers in the US with a newly reformulated flavor that prioritizes a high-quality recipe ready for enjoyment on its own or as a way to elevate a wide range of recipes.
The sausage is crafted with 100% premium pork that has been seasoned to perfection with paprika, red pepper, black pepper, thyme and oregano. These ingredients combine to achieve the perfect flavor for use in jambalaya or as an option for creating a fashion cuisine treat. The sausage is available now at Walmart, Kroger and select additional retailers.
North America Vice President of Marketing at McCormick & Company Valda Coryat commented on the Zatarain's Cajun Style Smoked Sausage saying, "Our customers wanted more New Orleans flavor, so we gave it to them. The refreshed spice profile delivers a well-rounded flavor that will jazz up mealtime, from weeknight dinners to backyard boils and barbecues."
