Florio Sports LLC has teamed with Major League Baseball Hall of Fame shortstop Cal Ripken Jr. to launch Ripken Power Shred, a new, high-quality, protein-rich jerky product made from lean American beef. Ripken Power Shred debuted at the 2010 National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) trade show in October and is anticipated to be available in retail outlets this spring. The shredded beef jerky snack is sourced and made in the United States, and offers three flavors — original, sweet n’ spicy, and teriyaki. Ripken Power Shred can be purchased online in a six-pack of 0.75-oz. cans or 3-oz. pouches, as well as cases containing 84 cans. www.chewjerky.com
