Meat Snack Industry On The Upswing

I have setup googles alerts for beef jerky which automatically send to my email articles written and posted across the internet daily.  Each day I receive an email with the latest surveys, projections and forecasts from meat snack industry experts around the globe.

Every day I read at least one article that reminds me why we got into the beef jerky business. 

Excerpt from the magazine CStore Decisions: "A 2018 trend insight report by FONA International, “Meat Snacks: Accelerated Opportunity,” points to meat snacks as the fastest growing snack food. Growing along with it have been form and flavor options."

Flavor options? Who knew? Today's meat snack consumer, while still loving the decades long favorites like Cracked Pepper, Original ad Teriyaki, are now looking for new flavors like Mango Habanero, Sea Salt Honey & Pepper, Peppered Orange Teriyaki and Pineapple Mango. And they are buying them up.

When we took over our company 3 years ago we have 8 beef and zero bacon flavors. Today we produce sixteen (16) beef and five (5) bacon flavors of our own. They are all very popular and the many choices from a single brand has been an important factor in our rapid growth.
