Maple Leaf Farms, Arby's partner on duck breast sandwich

Leesburg, Ind.-based Maple Leaf Farms, a leading producer of duck products in the U.S., has partnered with Arby’s on a limited-release seared duck breast sandwich.

The new sandwich will be introduced in select markets on Oct. 20. The sandwich features premium-quality duck breast that’s seared, cooked sous vide and topped with crispy onions and a smoked cherry sauce underneath a toasted bun.

“We are thrilled to be a part of introducing duck to the quick-service restaurant industry and its customers,” Maple Leaf Farms marketing director Cindy Turk said. “The new sandwich, with its sweet-smoky cherry sauce, complements the rich, red meat flavor of the duck breast perfectly.”

The seared duck breast sandwich follows Arby’s previous hunting season releases -- with game meats such as elk and venison -- and will be available in just 16 restaurants, all of which are located in one of the four waterfowl "migration flyways." These locations were chosen due to their close proximity to actual duck hunting areas, according to Arby’s.

Only a limited number of sandwiches will be available at each restaurant. The first 10 guests to order the seared duck breast sandwich will also receive an Arby's duck hunting camouflage hat.
