Dept. of Food Science, Rutgers, The State Univ. of New Jersey, 65 Dudley Rd., New Brunswick, NJ 08901-8520 Introducing Tom-eez -- the most exciting innovation for sandwiches since sliced bread! Tom-eez is a new way to add a blast of flavor to everyday sandwiches. Tom-eez is a mouthwatering mélange of diced sweet ripe tomato, crisp bell peppers, tangy pickles and savory minced garlic and onion, blended with the perfect combination of zesty seasonings into a novel condiment slice. Whether nestled between roast turkey and whole wheat bread, grilled together with American cheese, squeezed between a burger and a bun or swirled into a tuna wrap, Tom-eez is sure to awaken your sandwich, and your senses as well! With slices individually wrapped for convenience and freshness, Tom-eez is a perfect solution for up-scale brown-bag lunches, after-school snacks for latch-key kids, picnics, and meals on-the-go. No more soggy sandwiches in your lunch bag! Just peel back the wrapper and layer the slice between your favorite meat, cheese, or fish sandwich filling and the bread, then sit back and enjoy the unique flavor. Or, just top your favorite bread with Tom-eez for a deliciously different and convenient vegetarian sandwich. Beyond sandwiches, Tom-eez can also add fresh flavor and zesty seasonings to other everyday dishes. Need a hot meal? Just lay a Tom-eez on pasta or rice, zap it in the microwave, and have your own instant lunch bowl. Or melt a slice on eggs, fish, or poultry to spice up entrees. Your imagination is the only limitation. In addition to great taste, fresh texture and convenience, Tom-eez slices are a hassle-free way for consumers to incorporate vegetable nutrition into their diets. Tom-eez slices are naturally rich in lycopene and other phytochemicals, low in calories, and cholesterol-free. Available in 12 and 16 slice multi-packs, Tom-eez can be found with the cheese and packaged luncheon meats in your grocer’s dairy case.
