E M E RGI NG trends

Beyond beef jerky
Building on the jerky trend, innovative meat snacks emerged as one of the leading trends in
new products from the more than 3,500 exhibitors at this year's Natural Products Expo West in
Anaheim, Calif.
Sales of overall meat snacks are reshaping the salty snacks category, according to consumer insights company Nielsen. Split into two segments - jerky and sticks - meat snacks
represent a $2.8 billion category. Each segment contributes to about half of total sales, though
jerky sales have been strong in recent years while meat sticks sales have been flat.
Meat snacks remain a hot segment of the specialty market and cutting-edge product
launches from Country Archer Jerky Co., Epic Provisions, Perky Jerky and The New Primal unveiled at Expo West offer a glimpse into the innovation invigorating the specialty savory snack
category.
Natural, organic and functional food and beverage sales grew 6.7% to $144 billion last year,
significantly outpacing the total food market, said Carlotta Mast, senior vice-president of content at New Hope Network.

sliced cuts of grass-fed beef that are, according to the company, easier to bite and chew
than traditional jerky.

portfolio of premium meat snacks. Flavors include
mountain, Asian five spice and coconut curry.
