The Ribbonwire Ranch 100% USDA Certified Organic Beef Stick has been announced by the brand as a new retail product that's making its way to the US market for consumers to pick up this summer. The product sets itself apart from the competition with its 100% USDA Organic beef recipe that is made without antibiotics or added hormones, while also having no gluten, MSG, artificial flavors or colors. The meat snack comes in the Original, Honey BBQ, Jalapeño and Sweet & Spicy flavor options that are arriving now at 150 stores in the US including Wegmans, Gelson's and Central Market.
Co-Founder and Head of Ranch Operations Chad Schoonover spoke further on the Ribbonwire Ranch 100% USDA Certified Organic Beef Stick saying, "When you look at the beef snack aisle today, it's not always easy to know where the beef comes from or how it was produced. For us, organic isn't just a certification. It's a reflection of how we've chosen to operate for more than a decade, from how we care for our cattle and the land they depend on to the products we bring to market."
