Jack Link’s-owned meat snacking brand Peperami has expanded its chicken bites portfolio with the launch of a new flavour, Roasted Chicken Bites.

The Roasted Chicken Bites are made with 100% chicken breast, with hints of rosemary, paprika and sage. The protein-packed bites contain 95 calories per 50g bag and are considered to be ideal for health-conscious consumers. Pavan Chandra, head of Peperami marketing, said: “After the success of our Chicken Bites portfolio, being a major sales driver in the category, we felt there was no better time to expand the range with a tasty new flavour. We’re thrilled to introduce the new Roasted Chicken Bites variant, offering consumers a convenient, healthier snack which doesn’t compromise on taste or quality." The Roasted Chicken Bites are available at Tesco stores for an RRP of £1 per 50g pack and for £2 in a 4x25g multipack format.
