Wegmans launches marinated meats with real bourbon

On the Fresh Stories blog of Rochester, N.Y.-based Wegmans Food Markets, Mary Ellen Burris, the retailer’s senior vice president, consumer affairs, announced the introduction of Wegmans brand marinated meats with real bourbon.

Available in pork tenderloin, beef sirloin steak tips and boneless chicken cutlets varieties, the lean meats — which are lower in sodium than many marinated meats — are smoky tasting, but not too sweet, Burris explained. They also are thin enough to grill quickly and can be sliced thinly, against the grain. The refrigerated meats retail in Keeps Fresh packaging for a longer shelf life.
