Starkist Launches Chicken Creations Pouches

StarKist expands product line beyond seafood

StarKist® launched its newest product innovation, Chicken Creations™ pouches, available nationwide this summer. The launch of chicken pouches marks the brand's first foray outside of the seafood space. The line of premium white chicken is available in four flavors in the signature ready-to-eat pouches, including StarKist® Chicken Creations™ BOLD Buffalo Style, StarKist® Chicken Creations™ Ginger Soy, StarKist® Chicken Creations™ Zesty Lemon Pepper and StarKist® Chicken Creations™ Chicken Salad.

The new, premium, white meat chicken pouches are made with chicken sourced from American farms – raised cage free and hormone free. As protein snacking is on the rise, StarKist Chicken Creations pouches ensure that consumers are satisfied with great taste, while staying fueled with the protein they need. This meal solution maintains a convenient, tear-open and no-drain design, a necessity for those always on the move.

StarKist's current line of single-serve, seasoned Tuna and Salmon Creations pouches consist of 15 varieties, including six new flavors, to support the recommended two servings (8 ounces) of seafood weekly.

The new line of Chicken Creations features four varieties including:

• Chicken Creations: BOLD Buffalo Style: The variety is prepared with a dash of paprika, vinegar and fiery hot sauce. It has 80 calories and 9 grams of protein.
