Product Snapshot: 4505 Meats (formerly 4505 Chicharrones) has launched their first product extension – 4505 Cracklins.

4505 Meats' Cracklins will be available in two flavors, Spicy Green Chili & Lime and Sea Salt. Packed with seven grams of protein, the new crunchy curls of porkaliciousness are gluten-free, Paleo Certified, and made with humanely-raised pork, free of hormones and antibiotics.

Founder and CEO Chef Ryan Farr was inspired to share Cracklins after years of hosting pig roasts where guests lined up for tantalizing bites of pork skin carved right off the hog. 4505 Meats' new Cracklin line is inspired by those cuts: fried in pork fat to minimize waste and utilize all parts of the animal. Similar to their light and airy Chicharrones, these heartier, crunchier curly q-shaped bites are packed with porky flavor that is perfect for dipping and pairing with beer. Cracklins will be available in 3 oz. bags for a SRP of $4.99.
