In a category-first move, Yummiez has launched protein-rich pack of two chicken sausage at a very affordable price of INR 30. The two sausages in this sachetised format offer a combined value of upto 7 grams of protein. This sachetisation of frozen foods like sausages, will democratize frozen foods by making them affordable and accessible for everyone.
