Pittsburgh, PA — StarKist Co. has announced its newest innovation, StarKist Premium White Chicken, the first fully-cooked, no-draining required chicken in a convenient single-serve pouch. Available in two varieties, Premium White Chicken and Premium White Chicken 25% Less Sodium, StarKist's delicious new chicken products can be enjoyed directly from the pouch, used in a sandwich, added to any salad, and so much more.

"With our new StarKist® Premium White Chicken Pouches you just tear, add and go," said Andy Mecs, Vice President of Marketing & Innovation, StarKist Co. "This is the first no-drain chicken product of its kind and now consumers can enjoy chicken how and where they want. Whether they're eating it straight out of the pouch or adding it to their favorite chicken recipes to save time, we're excited to see how consumers use this product in their everyday lives."

Sourced and packaged in the United States, StarKist® Premium White Chicken consists of tender, white meat chicken that has been raised cage-free and hormone-free. All chickens used in StarKist products were allowed to roam freely and are raised without the use of added hormones, in accordance with federal regulations prohibiting the use of hormones in poultry.

Each single-serve pouch contains 15g of lean protein and is 80 calories. StarKist® Premium White Chicken pouches are available at select retailers nationwide. The product retails for $1.99 per pouch.
