Savoring the possibilities.

This article focuses on poultry products. If variety is the spice of life, the current marketplace for meat and poultry products is certainly well seasoned. The type and range of flavorings now added to fresh cuts of beef, pork, lamb, veal, chicken, turkey, and even raw processed meats run the gamut from simple, traditional seasonings to unusual, globally-inspired ingredients. At the retail level, meat merchandisers have increasingly expanded their cases to offer more flavored raw products. While most pre-seasoned products arrive at supermarkets case ready, some retailers do their own flavor additions in the back room.
