Hickory smoked uncured bacon pork mini sticks are now available in retail and online stores. This is the fourth stick to be offered in a 0.5 oz. go-pack format that is easy-to-pack. With a focus on the taste consumers crave, every Vermont Smoke & Cure product “Tastes right because it’s handcrafted from the finest cuts of meat,” says Michael Schafer, commercial business lead. 

 The company offers the on-the-go product in addition to 10 flavors across three proteins that are produced from hand-trimmed meat, in small batches, handcrafted and slow-cooked with an 18-hour+ cook process. All products are:

• Made with premium hand cuts of meat from animals raised without antibiotics or added hormones. Free of antibiotics and added hormones or added sodium nitrate.
• Crafted with 100% real spices and ingredients.
• Finely flavored by naturally fermenting to lower pH. 
• Made with ground corn cob, hickory and maple wood shavings to smoke our meat sticks — never liquid or artificial smoke flavor. 
• Free of MSG and allergens (milks, eggs, gluten, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts and soy). 
• No artificial colors, preservatives or flavors.

 The meat sticks are made at the company’s smokehouse in Hinesburg, Vt.
