Ask a meat expert: Q&A with Daily’s director of product innovation
July 9, 2024When it comes to breakfast meats, quality and experience are crucial
July 11, 2024For more than 130 years, Daily’s® Premium Meats has been providing superior quality bacon that offers endless opportunities for cooks looking to elevate their dishes. From applewood smoked to honey cured, Daily’s bacon levels up any meal without the hassle.
“At Daily’s, we take our breakfast meats seriously and we know consumers do too,” said Emma Pierce, brand manager at Daily’s Premium Meats. “That’s why we’re excited to continue to showcase bacon as an experience, not just an ingredient.”
Treating every batch of bacon like it’s the only batch, Daily’s puts bacon first to produce the bacon that bacon lovers dream about. With Daily’s superior quality bacon, there are endless opportunities for at-home cooks looking to elevate their dishes without the hassle, no matter what time of day breakfast occurs for consumers. And now, with flavors ranging from applewood smoked to honey cured and beyond, breakfast is tastier than ever with Daily’s.
According to Circana, thick cuts are currently outperforming standard cuts in the bacon category. In tracking this trend, Daily’s wanted to bring some excitement and innovation to this established category as well as drive new usage occasions for bacon. The brand’s newest product in the portfolio, Daily’s Steak Cut Bacon, launched during National Pork Month in 2023. Available in select retail stores around the country, the thicker-than-thick slice is a fresh approach to a saturated category that we’ve seen consumers consistently demand.
Cured with a premium sugar cure and smoked with natural hardwood, Daily’s Steak Cut Bacon achieves that enhanced smoked bacon flavor that consumers have craved for years.
Growing further into the breakfast daypart
Over a century ago, Daily’s founder, John Daily, started his company with a strong commitment to quality. And just as the John R. Daily Co. offered premium ham and sausage many years ago, Daily’s is ready to expand its offerings beyond bacon.
By using raw materials from the Seaboard Foods connected food system, Daily’s Premium Meats can continue to produce bold, innovative and flavorful breakfast products with the quality you’ve come to expect from the brand.
The 2024 Power of Meat study noted that new items can drive loyalty, trial and differentiation. With insights like those in mind, Daily’s is continuing to push for innovation in the breakfast meats space.
“Although Daily’s is a 130-year-old company, we’re not resting on our laurels,” Pierce said. “We’ve just scratched the surface of what is possible in the breakfast meats space. Daily’s has perfected the art of bacon, and we’re excited to bring that experience and expertise into innovative flavors, and even beyond bacon into products like ground breakfast sausage.”
