SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. – Country Archer Jerky Co. is launching a new line of meat bars that include collagen peptides. The three new meat bars, Cayenne Beef Bars, Herb Citrus Turkey Bars and Sweet BBQ Pork Bars contain lean cuts of 100 percent grass-fed beef, antibiotic-free turkey or pork and dates for natural sweetness.

“The beauty and supplement aisles are getting flooded with collagen products, but when it comes to savory snacks there aren’t any solid options for people looking for clean ingredients paired with the benefits of collagen – so we made one,” said Eugene Kang, co-founder and CEO of Country Archer. “We took a very intentional, no-bull approach to crafting a snackable bar with collagen peptides as the star, using mouthwatering high-protein cuts of grass-fed and antibiotic-free meat and real herbs and spices. The result is seriously delicious, and we can’t wait for everyone to meet their favorite new protein bar.”

Collagen is known for boosting skin and hair health and for increasing energy output and improving overall gut health. The meat bars contain 15 grams of protein per bar with only three grams of sugar (from dates) and 120 to 140 calories.

Country Archer meat bars are now available at conventional and convenience retail stores nationwide, including Target, Hudson News, 7-Eleven, Sprouts, Lucky’s Farmers Market, Raley’s, Natural Grocers, Town and Country, Central Market and New Seasons Market, as well as online at www.countryarcher.com, with a suggested retail price of $2.99 per 1.5-oz. bar.
