FRANCE: SAUSAGE AND CHORIZO SNACKS
Article Abstract:
According to ACNielsen, sales of sausages and chorizo snacks represented 1,570 tonnes for the twelve months ending mid-March 1999, calculated monthly, up 18.5%, for FFr 177.8mn, up 25%. The consumer fashion for these snack products encourages manufacturers to offer new salt meat snack products. The Justin Bridou company, which hopes to sell 800 to 1,000 tonnes of its Baton de Berger a Picorer launched in 1998, has launched Just'en Cas, trays containing mini-slices of salami, dry sausage, cured ham, and chorizo. The Henri Raffin company aims to make a turnover of FFr 8mn to FFr 10mn, 10% of its total turnover, with Sauci-Pocket, mini-cups containing slices of sausage without skin, available in three varieties - hazelnut, pure pork, and emmental. Roches Blanches has added two new varieties to its Mini-Crocq line: beech wood-smoked, and mild pepper.. On the chorizo segment, Moroni, the second ranking company on the market, has introduced Chorizettes and Saucissonettes - bite-sized pieces of chorizo and sausage of about 5 grams, and packaged in a sachet.

FRANCE: PROCESSED MEAT SALES AT DELICATESSEN
Article Abstract:
Sales of processed meats at delicatessen counters represented 81,111 tonnes in the first half of 2000, down 6% compared with the same period in 1999, for a value of FFr 4.6bn, down 3%. Only three segments came out ahead: black and white puddings with a 4% rise in volume and a 13% rise in value; sausages and salami, which rose 5% in volume and 8% in value. Rillettes suffered the sharpest drop, down 27% in volume and down 21% in value, followed by meat paste, terrines, and mousses, down 13% in volume and down 9% in value. Chitterlings and tripe both declined in volume but chitterlings rose 5% in value, and trip rose 6% in value. This overall decline in sales is due particularly to the Listeria affairs. Operators in this department are focusing on quality, and regional products from artisanal producers, in order to win back consumer confidence. The other areas favoured to stimulate sales are innovation with the launch of new recipes and the smaller-sized terrines.
