I love how it’s so easy to find random information on the web, when looking for other information. For example, Prepared Foods March 2002 – Market Trends: Delis Deliver
Slicing into a Share of the Deli
Prepared meals have made gains in supermarket foodservice, as evidenced by their percent of service deli sales.</td> <td> <b>2000</b> </td> <td> <b>1998</b> </td> <td> <b>1996</b> </td>
Sliced meats <td> 28.6% </td> <td> 28.4% </td> <td> 34.2% </td> <tr> <tr> <td> Salads </td> <td> 12.5% </td> <td> 12.4 </td> <td> 12.4% </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Hot entrees </td> <td> 10.9% </td> <td> 10.6% </td> <td> 10.2% </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Prepared chicken </td> <td> 10.4% </td> <td> 10.1% </td> <td> 7.3% </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Other meat </td> <td> 5.4% </td> <td> 5.9% </td> <td> 1.4% </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="4"> Source:<i> Deli Update; Progressive Grocer;</i> International Dairy Deli Bakery Assoc.; <i>PF</i> </td> </tr></table> </blockquote> <p> I feel like I’ve learned something today. I’d also be very surprised if there are any other blogs out there linkning to info about the deli industry this week… </p>
