Kayem Franks Help Kick Off New School Season at Florida State University® as New Official Hot Dog and Sausage of the Florida State® Seminoles®

CHELSEA, Mass., Sept. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Florida State University students, faculty and fans will soon taste a change in the hot dogs and sausages available to them at Doak Campbell Stadium, Dick Howser Stadium and the Seminole Soccer Complex. Just in time for football season and the 2010-2011 school year, Florida State University (http://www.fsu.edu/) and Kayem Foods, Inc. (http://www.kayem.com) announced today a new multi-year sponsorship and licensing agreement to manufacture and distribute Kayem Beef Hot Dogs and Sausage at all sporting and school events held at the three stadiums, making Kayem Franks the official hot dog and sausage of the Florida State® Seminoles®.

As part of the agreement, visitors can enjoy Kayem Beef Franks and Kayem Italian Sausage, beginning with the first home football game at Doak Campbell Stadium on September 4th.  These new franks are comprised of a special all-beef recipe, offering a unique blend of spices for a distinct bolder flavor.  The plump and juicy skinless hot dogs have no fillers and are MSG and gluten free.

"Florida State University is thrilled to introduce our faculty, students and fans to the Kayem brand this season," said Paul Phipps, Vice President and General Manager, ISP Sports for Florida State University.  "We are devoted to providing Seminole fans with the 'best of the best' during their time at FSU®, which is why we have decided to partner with Kayem."

"Similar to Kayem, Florida State University is a school rich in tradition and we are proud that they have chosen to partner with our brand," said Bob Kufferman, Kayem Senior Brand Manager.  "Earlier this year, we became the official hot dog and sausage of the Tampa Bay Rays' Tropicana Field and also offer Kayem Franks at select retail and restaurant locations throughout Florida.  As we look ahead, we are committed to expanding the distribution of Kayem products in both the Tallahassee and Tampa area."
