Chomps snacks are made from grass-fed and finished beef, venison or free-range turkey with no hormones or antibiotics. Chomps never contain added sugar, soy, dairy, artificial preservatives or colors, MSG, fillers, binders or artificial nitrates or nitrites. Additionally, Chomps is the only meat snack that is Whole30 Approved, Certified Gluten-Free, Certified Paleo, Keto Certified, Non-GMO Project Verified and Allergy-Friendly.

Chomps was founded in 2012 by co-founders, Pete Maldonado and Rashid Ali with a modest $6,500 investment and a dream. They experienced just how much conflicting information there was around food and realized that people want to make healthy choices, but aren’t sure what is truly good for them. They decided to eliminate the guessing game and create simple nutritious snacks that were made with the highest quality, sustainably sourced proteins and no hidden, harmful ingredients. Most importantly, the products needed to taste amazing.  As their personal lives evolved from single, working, young professionals always on the hunt for on-the-go protein into feeding each of their families of 5, so too did the mission.  Fueled by a newfound passion to set the bar for what the snacking experience should be, Chomps was poised to become the ultimate snacking brand.

Chomps was built on a strong direct to consumer platform and first gained popularity among many niche nutrition and fitness communities like Whole30, Paleo, Crossfit, Keto and Weight Watchers. It allowed Chomps to build a strong community of Chompians (brand loyalists) leveraging digital media first before launching onto retail shelves with Trader Joe’s in 2016.  The momentum built quickly, expanding into new sales channels in 2018 and truly establishing a national footprint by 2021 with retailers like Walmart, Kroger, and Whole Foods. 2022 brought the exciting expansion to Target and Costco regions across the country and additional shopper marketing tactics displays, sampling events, etc. The brand enters 2023 with steadfast omnichannel growth in both e-commerce and retail, becoming the fastest-growing natural meat snack brand in both the Natural and Conventional retail channels and category leader positions on Amazon and Thrive Market.
