GREENFIELD NATURAL MEAT CO. IS RAISING THE BAR IN BETTER-FOR-YOU SNACKING BRANDS

Greenfield Natural Meat Co. today launched Protein Snack Kits, a vibrant, category-elevating line of high-protein, fibre-rich, gluten-free snack kits crafted for today's wellness-minded consumer.

Packed with 20 grams of protein, seven g of fibre, sustainably raised meat and organic gluten-free seed crackers, these new kits celebrate what modern snacking should be: nourishing, convenient, delicious and deeply aligned with consumer values.

Launching nationwide this spring, Greenfield Natural Meat protein snack kits are crafted with the brand's commitment to sustainability, animal welfare, quality and taste. Each kit pairs sustainably raised, hormone-free, raised without antibiotics meat with premium roasted seasoned fava beans, premium real cheeses and gluten-free seed crackers from Top Seedz Crackers for an elevated on-the-go snack experience.

"Today's consumers are looking for protein-forward and fibre-rich snacks that fuel them, fit into busy routines and taste great," said David Alexander, vice-president, snacks and meal solutions, Maple Leaf Foods. "Our new Greenfield Natural Meat Co. protein snack kits do exactly that. They bring together powerful nutrition, exceptional taste and ingredients people trust. This launch redefines what better-for-you snacking can be, all while staying true to the brand's commitment to sustainability and integrity."

Protein plus fibre: power combination

As consumers are increasingly seeking to boost their protein intake, fibre is increasingly recognized as a nutrient and critical counterpart that supports gut health and overall metabolic well-being. Protein supports satiety and helps maintain lean muscle, while fibre is essential for digestive health, blood sugar regulation and a healthy gut microbiome.

Greenfield Natural Meat protein snack kits celebrate the synergy of these two powerhouse nutrients, delivering 20 g of high-quality protein and seven g of fibre in a convenient, wholesome, ready-to-enjoy format.

These kits offer a near 3:1 ratio of protein to fibre -- a great way to use snacks to help meet your daily needs.

Available at retailers across the United States

Greenfield Natural Meat protein snack kits will be available in two varieties, smoked uncured pepperoni and smoked turkey. Greenfield Natural Meat protein snack kits will be available at major U.S. retailers, nationwide beginning in April.
