THE Snack Mates Chicken & Apple Sticks, 2.5 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd find these chicken & apple sticks in the grab-and-go/snack aisle or tossed into lunchboxes, backpacks, and road-trip coolers as a convenient protein snack. They project a wholesome, slightly nostalgic meat-stick vibe — more natural than a neon snack but still engineered for shelf stability and chewy texture. The use of additives like encapsulated citric acid, cultured celery juice powder and a beef collagen casing signals industrial processing typical of ultra-processed products.
