For the Thanksgiving season, Think Jerky unveiled a festive free-range turkey jerky snack that's enriched with flavorful seasonal ingredients like cranberries, onion powder, sage and thyme—all of which are ingredients that are commonly integrated into items on the family Thanksgiving table. The turkey jerky snack is free from gluten, nitrites, added antibiotics or hormones, all of which are important factors to health-conscious consumers who are purchasing meat snacks and products today.
Think Jerky also makes a variety of unusually flavored jerky snacks, including another turkey jerky that's flavored with Sriracha Honey, as well as two grass-fed beef jerky flavors that come in Ginger Orange and Sweet Chipotle.
Inspired by some of the most classic fall flavors, brands are integrating Thanksgiving-inspired ingredients into snacks such as protein bars and potato chips.
