Our verdict

A mild, maple-touched chicken stick sized and labeled for kids' lunchboxes, not a substitute for a full-size adult jerky snack when you want bolder flavor.

Overview

Snack Mates by The New Primal is a kids-oriented chicken jerky stick, 15 mini sticks per bag, made from all-natural chicken with a hint of maple syrup, 5 g protein and 35 calories per stick.

Aimed squarely at lunchboxes rather than adult snacking, these sticks trade the smoky-spicy profile of standard beef jerky for a mild, slightly sweet maple flavor meant to appeal to kids. The poultry is raised without added hormones or antibiotics, and the stick is nut free and gluten free, details that matter more for school snack rules than for bold flavor.

  • 15 individually wrapped mini chicken sticks per bag
  • 5g protein, 1g sugar, 35 calories per stick
  • Chicken raised without added hormones or antibiotics
  • Nut free, soy free, gluten free and paleo

Who it's for

Best for parents packing school lunches or on-the-go snacks for kids who want a low-sugar, high-protein alternative to typical kids' snacks. Adults wanting a bold, savory jerky stick should look elsewhere in the lineup.

Pros and cons

Pros
