Perdue, the leading chicken, turkey, and pork processing company in the United States, recently announced the launch of the new PERDUE CHICKEN PLUS Chicken Tots. The new item brings together two iconic American comfort foods -- chicken nuggets and tater tots -- into a mouthwatering snack. Crispy Panko breading gives Chicken Tots a satisfying crunch that works well as a side dish, a snack or even a meal. Each serving contains 1/4 cup of veggies, making them ideal for today's flexitarian families.
PERDUE CHICKEN PLUS Chicken Tots come in a 22 oz bag and are made with premium white meat chicken, seasonings, and a vegetable blend (cauliflower, chickpeas, cabbage, potato). Moreover, each serving has 1/4 cup of veggies and 9 grams of protein.
Consumers can find the new product in the following retailers: Kroger, Roundy’s, KING KULLEN, Meijer, Giant Landover, Giant Carlisle, Shaw’s, Giant Eagle and BOGOPA.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Comfort Food Fusion
- There is an opportunity to create even more hybrid comfort foods that combine classic dishes in innovative ways.
- Healthy Fast Food Alternatives
- Creating healthy versions of popular fast food items like chicken nuggets and tater tots with added vegetables can tap into the growing demand for healthier options.
- Veggie-infused Foods
- There is potential to add vegetables to a variety of foods in creative ways to reach consumers looking to incorporate more vegetables into their diets.
Sectors Adopting This
- Food Manufacturing
- Food manufacturing companies can experiment with combinations of classic comfort foods to create new and unique products that tap into the nostalgia of consumers while also offering something new.
- Quick Service Restaurants
- Quick service restaurants can provide healthier options to consumers by incorporating more vegetables into their menu items, giving customers a reason to choose these establishments over traditional fast food.
- Food Retail
- Grocery stores and supermarkets can market products with added vegetables as a healthier snack alternative to attract consumers who want to make better dietary choices without compromising on taste.
