Chilli Meat Balls is the latest product to emerge from the new product development department at Snowbird foods.

Whilst best known for its fully cooked sausages, Snowbird has developed a wide range of fully cooked meat balls which are doing duty as meal centres, bun and wrap fillings and even pizza toppings.

Designed to appeal to sophisticated adult palates, Chilli Meat Balls have a beef content of 70% and the blend of seasonings includes black pepper, oregano, coriander, cumin, chilli, paprika and garlic.

In food service test markets 15 and 20g have proved the most popular sizes although balls can be made in sizes up to 50g.

“Chilli Meat Balls have proved popular with adults although they are definitely not for the faint hearted,» said Snowbird Joint Managing Director, Philip Paul.
