Recently, we’ve become aware of the grumblings about our competitor’s offerings. We’ve heard your complaints about the unattractive appearance and unpalatable taste, not to mention the dry, brittle consistency, and decided enough is enough. You deserve better.

Here at Barry Food Sales, we’re always trying to keep our ear to the grindstone when it comes to industry trends in an effort to bring to our customers—new and old—the best products available.

That’s why we’re excited to bring you Gold Kist’s brand new line of Solid Muscle products. Gold Kist’s Fully Cooked Solid Muscle Breaded Chicken Breast Fillet, Hot & Spicy Breaded Chicken Fillet, Breaded Chicken Bites, and Dark Meat Chicken Fajita Strips boast unmatched quality, consistency, and taste. Low in trans fat and sodium, each new product is minimally processed and specially formulated for optimum oven performance and extended holding times. For your convenience, Gold Kist’s whole line of Solid Muscle products is available through NOI. Gold Kist also complies with the USDA Standard Yield Processing, giving you the highest yields from your white meat allocation.

Gold Kist’s line of Solid Muscle products are a welcome addition to their already superior line of CN products offered from the processing of your USDA commodities. Say no to inferior quality. Don’t settle for anything but Gold Kist’s line of products available through Barry Food Sales for the 2012-2013 Commodity Processing season.

The new year is upon us. With all the economic turmoil swirling about, we’ve begun to take inventory of what we value here at Barry Food Sales as we enter out 32nd year of business. Quality and responsibility were two that came up: the importance of offering quality products to our customers and the responsibility of ensuring satisfaction no matter what.

In our discussions here, we came across an interview with Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia, in SKI Magazine from earlier this year. Chouinard, a lifetime outdoorsmen, environmentalist, and businessman, said, “Every time I’m stumped with a business problem, it doesn’t matter what it is, the answer is always increase the quality. Always…Whether it’s the quality of employee benefits or the product itself.”

Yes! we said. Isn’t this what business should be about? Treating people fairly, putting quality – and a responsibility to upholding that quality – above all else. So as the page turns on 2011 and we begin another year of partnership with you our valued customers, the Barry Food Sales team plans to continue bringing you the best products and doing business responsibly.

Starting in January 2012, the USDA’s initiative to reduce sodium levels in school lunches will officially kick into effect. The plan calls for target reductions of nearly 50% by year 10. Now the importance of this issue is no new news. The American Heart Association (AHA) estimates that nine in ten Americans will develop high blood pressure during their lifetimes due to high sodium intake coupled with high calorie diets. They lay out the issue in more detail here, including proposing a number of goals for the future.

But what about flavor? After all, a healthful meal means little if none of your students want to eat it, right? Well, American Foods Group (AFG) has taken a giant step in addressing this familiar issue. Their new line of reduced sodium beef products, featuring Fully Cooked Beef Crumbles, Beef Meatballs and Salisbury Steak, offers sodium content already below the 10 year rate without any sacrifice in flavor. (Believe us, we’ve tried them!) You can stay ahead of the game from the start and join the fight against too much salt.
