Each LK product features either grass-fed and finished beef or free-range poultry. The sticks each feature eight grams of protein, zero sugar and no preservatives. Allergen testing is conducted by MenuTrinfo's Certified Free From Program, a third-party auditing service accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board that verifies products and facilities are free from the top 9 allergens. Current flavors of meat sticks include Heat Seeker Jalapeno Beef, Chicka Boom Chili Crisp Seasoned Chicken, Herb-A-Licious Savory Turkey and Smoke Show Original Seasoned Beef. A total of 2,740 Walmart stores now carry single sticks of Chicka Boom and Heat Seeker, while an additional 978 Walmart locations will carry Herb-A-Licious.

"Our goal has always been to make simple, craveable, flavor-punching snacks accessible to everyone, especially those with food allergies or ingredient sensitivities," said Lorissa Link, founder of LK. "Expanding into Walmart is a huge milestone that helps us bring our 'snack fearlessly' mission to more people than ever before. We're proud to unlock bold flavor for shoppers who've had to avoid meat snacks in the past, and to be stocked in the gluten-free aisle, we're meeting them where they're already looking for safe and satisfying options."
