September 23, 2019

Springdale, Arkansas-based Tyson Foods has released a new protein snack, dubbed ‘Pact Snack Bites’. According to the company, the new product line was “created to help people harness the natural benefits of food.” The new product is made with nuts and fruit, containing ingredients like collagen protein, kombucha, matcha, prebiotic fiber, probiotic cultures and turmeric.

“Pact Snack Bites are literally packed with nutrition. Made with real fruits and nuts, they have 10-plus wholesome ingredients per serving. At a time when interest in fewer ingredients on a label has gained attention, Pact has more — which means more purposeful nutrition in each bite,” stated the company.

Pact Snack Bites are available in 1.8 ounce bags and should refrigerated to keep its freshness and functionality but can be stored without refrigeration for one week. The product line includes the following flavors:

  • Glow With It Cocoa + Coconut Collagen Snack Bites: contains coconut flakes, cocoa and collagen with 750 mg of omega-3, 950 mg of grape seed oil, ten grams of protein and three grams of fiber.
  • Gut Ahead Turmeric + Ginger Prebiotic Snack Bites: contains green banana flour, ginger and turmeric with one billion live cultures, three grams of prebiotics, eight grams of protein and four grams of fiber.
  • Gut Instinct Cranberry + Kombucha Probiotic Snack Bites: contains green banana flour, cranberries and kombucha with one billion live cultures, three grams of prebiotics, nine grams of protein and four grams of fiber.
  • Vibe On Mint Matcha + Blueberry Energizing Snack Bites: contain wild blueberries, peppermint oil and matcha with 1,000 mg of omega-3, 55 mg of magnesium, nine grams of protein and three grams of fiber.
