Sara Lee Premium Meats has JUST announced that its turkey, ham and chicken deli meats, found at the deli counter, now feature the American Heart Association Heart-Check Mark.

Some other good news is that Sara Lee recently announced that it’s taken additional steps to further improve and build upon these product offerings as they now contain:

• No added hormones
• Zero grams trans fat
• No MSG
• No gluten
• No fillers
• No artificial flavors

I love that Sara Lee has stepped up to the plate to give us healthy options for lunches (or dinners!).   I enjoy making and having sandwiches for lunch so we buy deli meat a lot.  There are lots of selections at our local stores but I won’t buy just anything.  Not only does flavor have to be a deciding factor, but how good it is for my family is just as important.   I’m excited to buy Sara Lee Deli Meats more now than I was before, knowing how healthy they are for us!

One of my favorite things to add to a salad is some turkey and ham. Check out this recipe below, the picture alone makes me hungry!
