Archer debuts chicken protein snack

Archer Meat Snacks, a clean-ingredient meat snack brand, has introduced its largest product expansion to date: a new 8-count Mini Stick multipack lineup.

The new lineup includes the company's first-ever chicken product, Oven-Roasted Chicken Mini Sticks, alongside a new Sweet BBQ Beef Mini Sticks flavor. The new products ship to Target beginning this month, while Walmart has added about 7,500 new Archer shelf placements. Target is doubling its meat snack section to carry Archer's full 8-count Minis line, plus expanded jerky and full-size stick distribution.

The suggested retail price is $7.99 for 8-count Minis multipacks and $16.99 for 8-count 1-oz full-size stick multipacks.

"Archer was built on a simple idea: real ingredients, real protein, nothing you can't pronounce. The fact that we're now in more than 30,000 doors—and growing more than three times the category—tells us consumers have been waiting for this," says Andrew Thomas, SVP of marketing at Archer Meat Snacks. "The chicken launch and 8-count expansion are about meeting them wherever they shop and making it easy to choose better protein snacks."

The 8-count minis line includes:

  • Oven-Roasted Chicken Mini Sticks: Archer's first-ever chicken product, made with all-natural chicken—gluten-free, zero sugar, and 5 g of protein per stick for grab-and-go snacking.
  • Sweet BBQ Beef Mini Sticks: A new smoky, backyard BBQ flavor made with 100% grass-fed beef—gluten-free, zero sugar, and 5 g of protein per stick.
  • Classic Beef Mini Sticks: Made with 100% grass-fed beef—gluten-free, zero sugar, and 4 g of protein per stick.
  • Original Turkey Mini Sticks: Made with all-natural turkey—gluten-free, zero sugar, and 5 g of protein per stick.
