Introducing Tyson Razorback Nuggets Fans Will Cheer Wooo Pig Sooie

Football fever is kicking into high gear, and two beloved Arkansas brands are joining forces to let fans celebrate their love for tailgating and game day parties with the launch of Tyson® Razorback™ Nuggets. Fans can show their support this fall with Tyson® brand’s white meat nuggets, crafted in the shape of the University of Arkansas’s iconic hog mascot.

Headquartered in Northwest Arkansas, home to the University of Arkansas, the Tyson team is steeped in Razorback® fandom, which inspired the creation of these special nuggets. The recent announcement that legendary Hall of Fame coach John Calipari will take over as the Razorback® head basketball coach has ignited a new level of excitement among dedicated Hogs fans, prompting calls to celebrate their beloved Razorbacks® in a unique way. “Tyson Foods is in Razorback® Country; most of our team members are huge Razorback® fans, and our consumers have been asking for a way to celebrate their team. We’ve listened and are thrilled to bring Tyson® Razorback™ Nuggets to Arkansas fans just in time for the football season,” said Kristina Lambert, SVP & GM Retail Value Added Poultry, Tyson Foods. “These nuggets are perfect for upcoming game day events and tailgating, so stock up!”

“When Arkansas fans cheer on our teams this season, they will be fueled by their passion for the Hogs and the new Tyson® Razorback™ Nuggets,” said Hunter Yurachek, University of Arkansas Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics. “With these two iconic Arkansas brands teaming up, Razorback™ Nation will be primed and ready to ‘Call the Hogs’ from pre-game to post-game, showing their loyal support of our more than 460 Razorback™ student-athletes.”

The Razorback™ Nuggets join Tyson Foods’ fun nugget collection, which includes Spooky Nuggets shaped like ghosts, bats, and pumpkins, and the perennial kid-favorite Dino Nugget. They are an excellent source of protein with 13 grams per serving, fully cooked, and skillfully breaded, ready in under seven minutes in an air fryer. Look for them in the freezer aisle of select Walmart stores in early August and select Sam’s Club locations in September.

In the 1930s, John W. Tyson moved his family to Arkansas and began delivering farm-raised chickens from his truck. From those humble beginnings, the Tyson brand grew, finding new ways to help feed the nation while staying true to its original belief that every family deserves to have high quality farm-raised chicken on their table. The brand’s portfolio of products includes Tyson® Fresh and Frozen Chicken, Any’tizers® Snacks, Tyson® Chicken Nuggets and Crispy Strips, giving families more to love every day with its vast portfolio of products.
