POWERED® leads a broader lineup of new PERDUE innovations designed to give families more convenient, protein-rich meals and snacks.
Protein has become one of the most sought-after nutrients at mealtime, creating new opportunities for innovation. To meet growing demand, PERDUE is introducing POWERED™, a new line that delivers 50 percent more protein than its traditional fully breaded chicken products, while expanding its portfolio with additional innovations that make it easier for families to enjoy convenient, high-quality chicken throughout the day.
“Innovation has been part of our story since my great-grandfather Arthur began selling our first quality table eggs more than a century ago,” said Chris Perdue, SVP of Marketing, Digital and E-Commerce at Perdue. “Innovation isn’t just about creating something new, it’s about solving real challenges for families in ways that stay true to who we are. As families’ needs evolved, we challenged ourselves to answer a simple question: How could we authentically deliver more protein while keeping our ingredients list short and staying true to what makes chicken, chicken? PERDUE POWERED™ is the result—a reflection of our belief that the best innovations don’t ask families to compromise, and don’t take shortcuts. They simply deliver more of what people are already looking for.”
PERDUE® POWERED™ delivers 20 grams of protein per serving without using whey, pea or dairy protein fillers. Through an innovative process that uses real chicken, the lineup packs 50 percent more protein than the traditional fully breaded PERDUE® chicken products into every bite while staying true to the authentic chicken flavor consumers expect with no tradeoffs to texture or taste. Available in lightly breaded Bites, Strips and Nuggets made with 100% all-natural chicken, PERDUE POWERED™ is ready in 10 minutes or less in an air fryer, making it easy to enjoy high-protein chicken throughout the day.
“Innovation starts with listening to consumers and understanding how their needs are changing,” said Brice Westring, SVP and Head of Innovation and Research & Development at Perdue. “Protein remains a priority for many families, but they shouldn’t have to compromise on taste to get it. That’s what makes PERDUE POWERED™ different. By delivering protein from real chicken rather than relying on non-chicken protein sources, we’ve created products that offer the nutrition consumers are looking for while staying true to the flavor and quality they expect from Perdue.”
