New Teton Taste Buds Hot Dogs Boast Lower Sugar, Sodium
Content than Traditional
LOVELAND, Colo., May 2, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Teton Waters Ranch, a leading producer of humanely
raised, 100% grass-fed beef products, with the introduction of
their Teton Taste Buds Hot Dogs for foodservice, is poised to help
schools meet new USDA requirements to reduce sodium and sugar in
breakfast and lunch offerings.
Last week, the USDA published the final rule that will
direct dietary guidelines for school meals over the next several
years. One major change that will need to be made is a reduction of
sodium by 15 percent at lunch and 10 percent at breakfast. Added
sugars will also need to be reduced to make up no more than 10
percent of weekly calories in meals offered.
"Research shows that school meals are the most nutritious food
source for American school children, but we know there is more work
to be done," said Jeff Tripician, President and CEO of Teton
Waters Ranch. "We are ready to support schools in meeting these new
requirements, while keeping meals appealing and tasty for
kids."
The Teton Taste Buds Hot Dog, a healthy blend of 100% grass-fed
beef and vegetables, boasts 27 percent less sodium and 38 percent
less fat than leading hot dog brands. It also has no added sugar,
and contains a simple, clean ingredient list.
Kids and parents alike love the product. In sensory tests
conducted at Colorado State University,
91 percent of children said they would eat the product again and 93
percent of parents would buy the products regularly.
