The clean snacking revolution is seeing brands refine traditional category strongholds to keep them relevant for today's consumer, which is what we're seeing with new options like the Roundhouse Provisions Grass-Fed Beef Sticks. The product takes the classic meat snack stick and gives it a clean eating overhaul with 100% grass-fed Angus beef, a blend of natural seasonings and spices, sea salt and natural smoke flavor. The result is a zero-sugar snack that contains 70-calories and less than one-gram of net carbs.
The Roundhouse Provisions Grass-Fed Beef Sticks also feature no MSG, nitrates, nitrites or artificial preservatives, while still boasting a shelf-stable and travel-friendly composition. The snacks thus hit a number of key elements for consumers including protein, convenience and, above all, flavor.
