PITTSBURGH
New Zealand Jerky, Inc.™ (NZJ™), pioneer of the first Non-GMO Project Verified beef jerky in the U.S., made with all natural ingredients, is debuting its maiden line of premium, grass-fed beef jerky at Natural Products Expo West taking place in Anaheim, Calif., from March 6-8. A nourishing source of lean protein, New Zealand Jerky™ is crafted from premium, pasture-raised beef from New Zealand, which produces some of the most flavorful, lean, and tender meat in the world. All NZJ jerky products are gluten free and are made without any additives, preservatives, MSG or nitrates. Cut into moist, tender bite-sized pieces for an unrivaled snacking experience, New Zealand Jerky is available in three aromatic flavors to delight any meat lover’s palate: Original, Peppered and Teriyaki.
“Growing up in New Zealand, where the use of GMOs is banned, we took for granted that our meats were free of GMOs,” said CEO and co-founder, Steve McKee. “We know consumers in the U.S. are becoming increasingly concerned about what goes into their food, and wanted to offer a clean option for one of America’s favorite snacks. By sourcing premium, grass-fed cattle roaming the lush, green fields of New Zealand, we’ve gone back to the old ways and created a jerky as clean and nutritious as can be.”
New Zealand Jerky features a lineup of all natural ingredients, beginning with grass-fed whole muscle, top round beef, sliced not too thinly to create a moist, supple texture, to boldly deliver a taste of New Zealand in every bite. The free-range farming practices in the nutrient-rich environment of New Zealand produce an incomparable, high-quality meat that is less fatty, and higher in omega-3 fatty acids than conventional beef. NZJ adds subtle flavor to enhance, rather than disguise, the naturally exquisite taste of its premium grass-fed beef, and is available in three deliciously smoky and savory flavors:
- Original: For the purist, this robust meaty flavor is blended perfectly with a slight smoky back note achieved through a traditional, natural smoking process incorporating manuka wood.
- Peppered: For the bold at heart, this flavor shouts “power to the pepper,” with a liberal sprinkling of cracked pepper to pack an extra punch and notes of manuka wood smoke in the background.
- Teriyaki: Subtle yet distinctive with just a touch of sweetness, this twist on the classic flavor features a rich, tickled by tamari taste, with a hint of lemon for extra zing.
Expo West attendees will have a first taste of the new grass-fed beef jerky at the NZJ booth (#6043). Lightly marinated with all natural ingredients and traditionally smoked with real manuka wood, NZJ’s subtle use of only natural flavors allows the clean and distinctively meaty taste of its grass-fed beef to triumph. With 30 grams of protein and zero saturated fat per packet, New Zealand Jerky is the perfect, portable, convenient high-protein snack, which can be enjoyed at the office, up a mountain and everywhere in between.
New Zealand Jerky is available at natural and traditional grocers nationwide, and coming soon at www.newzealandjerky.com. For more information, please visit www.newzealandjerky.com or visit booth #6043 during Natural Products Expo West.
