Foster Farms High Protein Bites have been developed by the brand as a protein-driven snack product that takes a keen approach to formulation to maximize its nutritional density.
The product features fully cooked frozen chicken breast that's covered in the brand's proprietary high-protein breading to maximize the amount of protein in every serving. The product thus has 20-grams of protein in each serving with no added sugar and is also gluten-free. The product targets consumers seeking out convenient, protein-led foods as well as those who are on GLP-1 medications and require small, fast and nutritious meal options.
Foster Farms High Protein Bites are ready to eat in eight to 10-minutes and are arriving now in the freezer case in many retailers in the US.
