SOYLOIN STEAKS are similar to CHOP- LETS * in origin and importance as a protein food, but they are entirely different in texture and flavor. We continue to recommend CHOPLETS * for those who like a "main course" dish with a sturdy, "chewy" texture and a meatlike flavor. But if you prefer a milder flavored, tenderized cutlet, we suggest the SOYLOIN STEAKS. Because we are ever mindful of our customers' desire for nutritious, appetizing foods, our staff at Worthington Foods is constantly working on new formulae for products that you can be proud to serve on your table and that we can be proud to list under the Worthington trademark. * Reg.
