Maple Leaf Foods Inc. has debuted Maple Leaf Mighty Protein, a line of chicken protein sticks made with clean-label ingredients.

According to the Nourish Food Marketing 2025 Trend Report, more than 70% of Canadians are seeking to boost their protein intake. Mighty Protein chicken sticks are made from simple ingredients, including lean, protein-dense chicken, and offer 12 g of complete protein with zero sugar, no fillers, and 110 calories per stick.  

The company is launching the chicken sticks to expand its protein-snacking product offerings to meet consumer demand for convenient, everyday protein, it says.

"Canadians are asking for protein they can take anywhere—clean, tasty, and truly satisfying," says D'Arcy Finley, vice president, brand and marketing, Maple Leaf Foods. "Mighty Protein puts complete protein in your pocket at 12 grams per stick, with zero sugar, no fillers, and craveable flavors. It's fuel for the rink, the commute, after the gym, or the 'afternoon slump,' all without compromising on natural ingredients or irresistible flavor." 

Mighty Protein sticks are gluten-free and keto-friendly snacks that require no refrigeration, and are available in three flavors: Original, Buffalo, and BBQ. The chicken sticks are available at grocery retailers across Canada, as a 32 g single stick or in multi-packs of eight.
