MONTREAL, QC, April 17, 2014 (Press-News.org) Chef Emeril Lagasse is about to revolutionize your snacking routine, bringing his signature flavor-first style to home freezers. With easy-to-prepare choices in four delicious varieties -- Chicken & BBQ Sauce BAM Bites, Chili Cheese Mini Dogs, Jalapeno Wontons with Bacon, and Pulled Pork BAM Bites - these bite-size pieces go from freezer to plate within minutes.
Chef Lagasse, in partnership with award-winning Canadian company Plats du Chef, developed these frozen snacks to answer modern snacking needs. Snacking is now a national obsession, with 45%* of Americans replacing one or more meals per day with a snack. The constant search for variety has blurred the line between party appetizers and everyday snack items and has created a real gap in the market. Enter Emeril's unique line of snackables, which are as appropriate for down time as they are for party time.
"I wanted to create a line of high quality frozen snacks that would kick people's snacking up a notch and differ from what is already out there," said Lagasse. "There used to be just two types of snacks in the freezer section, kids' snacks and fancy appetizers. But these babies are great for parties, as well as kids, and ideal as a small snack on the go."
Raised during the era of food network television shows, food trucks on every block and ethnic eateries, Millennials (age 18-30) have taken the snacking trend a step further and made it part of their lifestyle. This generation not only wants more variety and exotic flavors, they expect it not just when dining out, but also when eating prepared foods at home.
Known for the diversity of flavors in his kitchen, Emeril has developed four unique snacks that are sure to become fast favorites. The Chicken & BBQ sauce BAM Bites feature white chicken meat in a sweet and smoky barbecue sauce, wrapped in soft bread. The Jalapeno Wontons with Bacon are a marriage of East and West, blending crispy, creamy and spicy flavors. The Chili Cheese Mini Dogs feature a classic ballpark frank, surrounded by chili and cheese, encased in a soft bun. Finally, the Pulled Pork BAM Bites are a Southern version of a slider, with smoky, slow-cooked pork shoulder in a bite-sized bun.
Affordable, easy-to-use and delicious, Emeril's new appetizers will dazzle guests, satisfy late-night cravings, and feed hungry sports fans gathered around the TV to watch a game.
Available at more than 438 Walmart stores in Arkansas, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia, and priced from $3.97 to $4.97, they're sure to become freezer staples (1).

Key milestone for brown fat research with a ground-breaking MRI scan
2014-04-17
The first MRI scan to show 'brown fat' in a living adult could prove to be an essential step towards a new wave of therapies to aid the fight against diabetes and obesity.
Researchers from Warwick Medical School and University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust used a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based method to identify and confirm the presence of brown adipose tissue in a living adult.
Brown fat has become a hot topic for scientists due its ability to use energy and burn calories, helping to keep weight in check. Understanding the brown fat tissue ...
Sprifermin offers benefit for cartilage loss from knee osteoarthritis
2014-04-17
In a new study in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee, at 12 months, total femorotibial cartilage thickness loss was reduced in sprifermin (recombinant human fibroblast growth factor 18)-treated knees compared to placebo-treated knees, with effects being significant in the lateral femorotibial compartment but not in the central femorotibial compartment.
Results published in Arthritis & Rheumatology, a journal of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR), showed that sprifermin dosed at 100µg reduced loss of cartilage thickness and volume in the total femorotibial ...
Distracted driving among teens threatens public health and safety
2014-04-17
Philadelphia, PA, April 17, 2014 – Motor vehicle crashes rank as the leading cause of teen deaths and in 2008, 16% of all distraction-related fatal automobile crashes involved drivers under 20 years of age. These grim statistics, coupled with an increasing nationwide awareness of the dangers of distracted driving for all ages, prompted the publication of an important supplement to the Journal of Adolescent Health that explores the causes of distracted driving and offers practical recommendations to reduce the incidence of distracted driving among teens.

Creative activities outside work can improve job performance
2014-04-17
SAN FRANCISCO -- Employees who pursue creative activities outside of work may find that these activities boost their performance on the job, according to a new study by San Francisco State University organizational psychologist Kevin Eschleman and colleagues.
Creative pursuits away from work seem to have a direct effect on factors such as creative problem solving and helping others while on the job, said Eschleman, an assistant professor of psychology.
The study examined whether creative activity might have an indirect impact on employees' performance by providing them ...
Research shows that bacteria survive longer in contact lens cleaning solution than thought
2014-04-17
Each year in the UK, bacterial infections cause around 6,000 cases of a severe eye condition known as microbial keratitis – an inflammation and ulceration of the cornea that can lead to loss of vision. The use of contact lenses has been identified as a particular risk factor for microbial keratitis. New research, presented today at the Society for General Microbiology Annual Conference in Liverpool, shows that a bacterial strain associated with more severe infections shows enhanced resistance to a common contact lens disinfectant solution.
Researchers from The University ...
Simplicity is key to co-operative robots
2014-04-17
A way of making hundreds - or even thousands - of tiny robots cluster to carry out tasks without using any memory or processing power has been developed by engineers at the University of Sheffield, UK.
The team, working in the Sheffield Centre for Robotics (SCentRo), in the University's Faculty of Engineering, has programmed extremely simple robots that are able to form a dense cluster without the need for complex computation, in a similar way to how a swarm of bees or a flock of birds is able to carry out tasks collectively.
The work, published today [Thursday 17 April ...
At least 1 in 20 adult outpatients misdiagnosed in US every year
2014-04-17
At least one in 20 adults is misdiagnosed in outpatient clinics in the US every year, amounting to 12 million people nationwide, and posing a "substantial patient safety risk," finds research published online in BMJ Quality & Safety.
Half of these errors could be potentially harmful, say the authors, who add that their findings should prompt renewed efforts to monitor and curb the numbers of misdiagnoses.
To date, patient safety improvements have largely focused on hospital stays and issues such as infections, falls, and medication errors, say the authors. But most ...
The Lancet: Changing where a baby is held immediately after birth could lead to improved uptake of procedure that reduces infant iron deficiency
2014-04-17
Changing where a newborn baby is held before its umbilical cord is clamped could lead to improved uptake in hospitals of delayed cord clamping, leading to a decreased risk of iron deficiency in infancy, according to new results published in The Lancet.
Delaying clamping of the umbilical cord until around two minutes after birth allows for blood to pass from the mother's placenta to the baby, and has previously been shown to reduce the risk of iron deficiency in infancy.
However, current recommendations – based on studies conducted 35 years ago – suggest that for effective ...
