Ovation Foods' Chicken Sticks bring nutrient-identical eggs into the meat snack space using a proprietary beaded “whole egg” ingredient by the name of Eggsentials. The jerky-like snack sticks are made with skinless chicken breast and they set themselves apart with Eggsentials, which has the identical nutrient profile of a single whole egg. With 175mg of choline, which naturally occurs in raw eggs, this is an important part of supporting brain health and cognitive function.
The ready-to-eat chicken snacks can be found in varieties like No Soy Teriyaki, Chili Lime and Smokehouse Original, and the company plans to introduce a leaner, bacon-like chicken strip with Eggsentials soon. These snacks are ready to pack and take on the go thanks to their carefully selected ingredients and convenient packaging.
