Bring the Fresh Taste of the Deli Case Home

OSCAR MAYER Deli Fresh Meats Offer New Cuts and Varieties the Whole Family Will Love

MADISON, Wis. (April 17, 2008) - For 125 years, OSCAR MAYER has delivered fresh tasting, high quality meats to help families bring the taste of the deli case home. Now there's even more flavor variety and packaging innovation to help consumers conveniently enjoy their deli favorites with OSCAR MAYER Deli Fresh meats.

"People want more convenient ways to get the flavors and slices of meat usually found only at the deli case," says Jared Baker, senior brand manager. "With this in mind, we created three innovative and convenient additions to the OSCAR MAYER Deli Fresh line that will deliver the same fresh-tasting, high-quality meats consumers have come to expect from OSCAR MAYER."

Your Deli Order is Up!
Sliced, packed, and sealed at the peak of freshness, OSCAR MAYER Deli Fresh meats are perfect for lunches, family meals or special gatherings. They come in three different cuts and sizes, for sandwiches the whole family will love - just like the deli, but without the wait.

"We love that the OSCAR MAYER Deli Fresh line has something for everyone," continues Baker. "We're especially excited about the new Singles that come with two individually wrapped servings per package. This is a great way for people to easily incorporate protein at lunch or even as a snack on the go."

Three Deli-licious Lunch Ideas:
Available in five varieties, new OSCAR MAYER Deli Fresh Singles, convenient two-packs of shaved meats individually wrapped by serving, are a tasty way to get that Deli Fresh taste every single time - perfect for a sandwich for one or a great snack on the go.
