US-based Schmaltz Products has unveiled new Schmacon, Smoked & Cured Glazed Beef Slices, a new alternative to pork bacon.
Schmacon is whole muscle beef seasoned with a proprietary spice blend, and has smokey and sweet flavor with a meaty and crisp texture.
The new offering can be eaten by itself or can be used to improve the flavors of breakfast, burgers, sandwiches and salads.
Schmacon will make its official debut at the National Restaurant Association Show on 17-20 May 2014. The product is currently available through online retailer at the company's official website and plans to begin retail distribution before the end of 2014.
