Product Snapshot: 4505 Chicharrones is a line of artisanal pork rinds created by professionally trained chef and butcher Ryan Farr after seeing the amount of waste in traditional butchery. Each crispy cloud of porkaliciousness uses only the highest quality ingredients sourced from small family farms with no added antibiotics or hormones. Each bag of chicharrones has double the amount of protein as other meat protein snacks with a whopping 18 grams, has zero carbs and is gluten free with paleo certified options as well. Perfectly seasoned and delicious on its own or paired with salsas, quesos and dips, this snack never disappoints. The brand will be showcasing their newest flavors, Smokehouse BBQ and Jalapeño Cheddar, at the Sweets & Snacks Expo, in addition to their existing flavor, Classic Chili & Salt, in their new larger packaging.

We’ve introduced and installed technology for some of the largest US confectionaries – where they’ve literally switched their reactivation heat source from fossil fuels, to existing sustainable hot water.
