This is reportedly the first time a major packaged deli meat brand has incorporated the trending [hot honey flavor profile](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hilltop-hot-honey) into its product line. The Hot Honey Chicken Breast and Hot Honey Ham lunch meat varieties blend sweet honey notes with chili pepper heat. Land O’Frost relied on natural flavorings and real hardwood smoking processes to maintain strong taste sensations without compromising its standards of no artificial flavors or by-products. Each serving of the lunch meats delivers at least eight grams of protein, as well. Busy families seeking convenient yet flavorful lunch options could appreciate the protein-rich, ready-to-eat format of the Hot Honey Chicken Breast and Hot Honey Ham varieties.
