Available in two flavors, (Thunder Cheese and Grilled Squid) the snacks are packed with protein, low in sodium and appealing for being baked, not fried.
These snacks made with a proprietary blend of ingredients deliver the taste and texture that consumers are looking for, with the added benefits of being abundant in protein.
