The New Primal Launches Meat Snacks for Kids

The New Primal, makers of 100 percent grass-fed beef and free-range turkey jerky, has launched Snack Mates, Paleo-friendly meat sticks made just for kids. Snack Mates are 0.5-ounce meat sticks sold in five-pack bags with six grams of protein in every serving. The meat sticks are easy to chew and have a mild, non-spicy flavor, perfect for the young palate, say company officials. 

Featuring easy to open, kid-friendly packaging, Snack Mates are available in two flavors including Classic Beef and Classic Turkey. Snack Mates are made with pasture raised grass-fed/grass-finished beef and free-range turkey and are non-GMO, hormone and antibiotic free, gluten-free, soy-free and Paleo-Certified. A Top 8 Allergen Friendly snack, Snack Mates offer the ultimate healthy protein snack for kids on the go and are perfect for adding to any child’s lunchbox or snack assortment, officials add.

“As a nation, we are becoming more aware and concerned about what is being put into our food and how it is produced,” says The New Primal founder Jason Burke. “Our free range practice ensures the highest quality living conditions and produces healthier and better tasting jerky. There is an urgent need for healthy protein options for kids, and our launch of Snack Mates, the first meat snack of its kind, will allow parents and kids to feel good about what they are putting into their bodies.” 

Snack Mates’ five-pack bags retail for $5.99 and will be available in natural grocery stores, outdoor retail, and grocery chains.
