Today, an increasing number of consumers desire alternatives to red meat products from an economical and perceived health benefit standpoint, among others. Poultry processors are responding to such consumer desires by introducing a variety of formed, further value-added poultry products, such as coated/breaded products like chicken nuggets, sticks and fingers; sausage and frankfurters; luncheon meats, meatballs; plus a range of upscale, further value-added chicken and turkey patties.
VerTex Forming Systems from Formax, a Provisur Technologies Inc. brand, are ideal for consistently creating a wide range of formed, further value-added poultry products. Formax’s VerTex660and VerTex1000 forming systems, in particular, are both meeting this challenge.
