The chain plans to feature the Real Seal on both menus and pizza take-out boxes in each of its 5,000 stores across the country. More than 235 million pizzas topped with real cheese were produced at Pizza Hut locations last year. “It takes more than 100,000 cows, each producing 30 pounds of milk per day to fill the milk needs of Pizza Hut,” states Mike Jenkins, Pizza Hut’s corporate public relations manager. “Dairy products account for 35 percent of our food costs.” For Pizza Hut, the Real Seal is a quality statement to patrons.

According to a recent survey, 96 percent of the nation’s pizza stores use real cheese on their .pizzas. Cheese blends, a mixture of real and imitation cheeses, are trying to make their way into the market place. By signing pizza stores into the Real Seal program, the American Dairy Association hopes to keep the quality of real cheese in pizza preparation. Locally, the American Dairy Association and Dairy Council runs the most successful sign-up program for pizza stores. Last year ADADC staff signed up over 1,000 pizza stores to the Real Seal program. The signing of Pizza Hut should encourage other stores to get into the program and become “Real Pizza Makers.” To prevent a hernia, lift with your legs. listerkamp 111, M.D., Hogg Heisterkamp SURGICAL ASSOCIATES r 719 North Duke Street Lancaster, Pa. 17602 23,710 milk and 885 fat.
