NEW YORK CITY, January 21, 2020 – PERDUE®, the leading brand of fresh and organic chicken products in the U.S., is partnering with licensing agency Beanstalk to extend the brand into complementary food categories. This new partnership is part of the premium protein brand’s commitment to offer evolved, differentiated, high-quality mealtime and snacking protein solutions that fit conveniently into consumers’ lifestyles.

Perdue Farms, the PERDUE brand’s parent company, is a fourth-generation, family-owned American company that prides itself in implementing industry-leading animal care practices, including raising all chickens with 100% vegetarian feed with no animal by-products. Perdue Farms’ brands are leaders in no-antibiotics-ever premium chicken, turkey, pork, and beef, and in USDA-certified organic chicken.

With this new partnership, Beanstalk will serve as PERDUE’s exclusive brand extension licensing agency, helping to enhance PERDUE’s reputation as the brand that consumers rely upon for the highest-quality, freshest-tasting, most convenient, better-for-you foods.

Allison Ames, President and CEO of Beanstalk said, “We are delighted and honored to work with PERDUE, the most trusted brand in premium protein. With today’s trend toward healthier and balanced eating, PERDUE’s expansion into additional protein-centric foods will offer families new ways to help achieve healthier lifestyles.”

“As we celebrate our 100th anniversary in 2020, our commitment to helping families meet all their various mealtime needs continues,” said Eric Christianson, Chief Marketing Officer at Perdue Farms. “We’re excited to extend PERDUE into additional food categories that provide consumers with new options for the highest quality, premium protein foods.”

The new licensed products will be available at grocery, mass, club and convenience stores in North America.
