Food Pioneers
In the 1960s, our Tyson鈥檚 Pride庐 Rock Cornish Game Hen hit supermarket shelves as one of the earliest branded poultry products. Since then, we鈥檝e continued to bring innovative food products into homes and restaurants, every day and everywhere. A product like microwaveable eggs is a prime example of our continued efforts to innovate in unique, consumer-focused ways.
Making Mealtime Easier
In 1976, we introduced our first truly innovative convenience product: the Ozark Fry chicken patty. Restaurants and other foodservice businesses loved the versatility, and as needs and demands changed, we did too. We took our chicken further, cutting it into strips, breaded nuggets and filets, and created everything from popcorn chicken nuggets to boneless wings.
Fresh Beef & Pork Innovations
In the late 1960s, Iowa Beef Packers, a small company in Denison, Iowa, revolutionized the industry. By shipping vacuum-packed beef sections in boxes, the company (soon to be known as IBP, Inc.) greatly reduced shipping costs. Since acquiring IBP, Inc. in 2001, our goal has been to deliver the best and freshest meats to customers. We are doing that today with products like fresh, thick-cut , and premium 100% beef burgers.
Convenience Consumers Want
Consumers are always looking for quality and value, whether they are purchasing food to serve at home or on the go. With changing lifestyles, the demand for convenience has grown in importance. By the end of the 1960s, we moved from selling ice-pack poultry to offering families deep-chill Tyson Country Fresh Chicken. We now make 9 of the top 10-selling frozen prepared chicken products in the U.S. and offer more convenient protein options, like our newest .
