The growth of the meat snack category has demonstrated that consumers are driven to meat in many hand-held forms — in the traditional jerky or meat stick variety or in the new meat bars. Expresco Foods, a Montreal, Quebec processor with a particular expertise in grilled meats, is banking that consumers will want to snack with skewers as well.
Earlier this year, the company introduced ProSticks, grilled chicken skewers sold in snack-sized pouches. Each pack provides 23g of protein, and the line of chicken snacks comes in Mediterranean, Sweet Sriracha and Chipotle flavors.
