Meat snacks are ready-to-eat (RTE) food products made using dried and dehydrated animal-derived raw materials with added flavorings and seasonings. The raw materials are processed into several forms during preparation, such as strips, shreds, nuggets, slabs and rinds. Meat snacks are a good source of proteins, zinc, iron, choline, vitamin B12 and omega-3 fatty acids that help to increase energy and maintain a balanced diet. Nowadays, trail mixes of meat, dry fruits and nuts are gaining traction worldwide.

The escalating demand for healthy and convenient snacking items on account of hectic lifestyles and inflating disposable incomes represents one of the major factors impelling the global meat snacks market growth. Moreover, the growing trend of premium meat snacks that are processed with lamb, grass-fed beef, wild boar, pasture-raised venison, coho salmon, and cage-free turkey and chicken is contributing to the market growth. Apart from this, leading players are introducing gluten-free and low sugar variants with no additives and preservatives. They are also incorporating herbs to introduce innovative flavors using rosemary, basil, curry, chipotle, kimchi and adobo in meat snacks to expand their consumer base.
