The Food Service Group develops, produces and markets
quality chicken products to national restaurant chains,
food service distributors, supermarket delis, health care
food service and school food service operators. The
Food Service Group provides solutions, not just chicken.
Our customers’ top issues are the cost and availability
of labor in addition to food safety. Value-added items
address these customer concerns and are where Tyson
places the majority of our attention.
In a recent Gallop study, 66 percent of food service
operators surveyed said Tyson was the best brand of
chicken – eight times greater than the nearest competitor.
New products this year included chicken burger, an
alternative to the hamburger that is positioned for the
burger crowd. The Food Service Group also added
new products to our Specialties™line, including Asian
chicken skewers, ancho chicken empanar and pro-
sciutto-wrapped smoked gouda chicken breasts.
Tyson received
Institutional Distributor
magazine’s
overall industry leader award for the 12th consecutive
year as voted by distributor management and sales
representatives. In addition to the overall award, we
won the general frozen food category and the frozen
poultry category.
