SMITHFIELD, Va., June 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — When it comes to sandwiches ordered away from home, the difference between a one-time order and a repeat visit often comes down to one thing: the meat. According to new research from\u00a0Smithfield Culinary<\/a>, meat quality and portion size aren\u2019t just preferences, they\u2019re primary drivers of satisfaction, perceived value and, ultimately, restaurant recommendations.<\/p>\n

The survey, conducted among 2,000 U.S. consumers who dine away from home, reveals that while bread, toppings and sauces matter, the meat defines the sandwich experience. In fact, 87% of patrons agree that the quality of deli meat can make or break a sandwich.<\/p>\n
