Until now products in this category shared one trait - they all contained meat. But with millions of people eating less or no meat, Vegi-Deli, makers of 100% vegan meat alternative products, is poised to introduce Bubba Sticks�, all-natural vegan snack sticks, made for people who love everything about meat snacks except the meat.
Bubba Sticks are all-natural, 100% vegan, non-GMO, certified Kosher, high-protein "snack sticks." The two varieties, Original Spice and Teriyaki are sold in convenient, individually wrapped 1 oz. packages. Made from vital wheat-gluten and natural spices, Bubba Sticks are the first vegan all-natural snack-stick to compare in taste and texture with meat-based power-house brands like Slim Jim and Pemmican from food-giant ConAgra.
Mintel's research points to a variety of factors for the tremendous popularity of the meat snacks' category including low fat, high-protein and convenience. In the snack foods category, consumers reported that portable containers, no refrigeration, bite-sized portions and little or no mess influenced their buying decisions. Bubba Sticks, which boast all the attributes named by consumers, is also completely cholesterol free, 100% vegan, GMO free and certified Kosher by Star K.
Bubba Sticks are made by Green Options, Inc., a producer of meat-free products under the Vegi-Deli and Now&Zen brand names. In addition to Bubba Sticks, Vegi-Deli makes Pepperoni, Salami Slices, Vegi-Jerky and QuickStix, vegan, high-protein, all-natural meat alternatives. Now&Zen makes the UnTurkey (in 3 Lbs. and 7 Lbs. sizes), and UnChicken, UnRibs and UnSteak, delicious meat-free entrees. Now&Zen also makes Hip Whip and Chocolate Mousse, all natural, vegan dessert toppings; Now&Zen and Vegi-Deli products are available throughout the U.S. at natural foods stores, select grocery stores and at www, greenoptions.net
