The strong flavor of meat snacks is attributed to the concentrating effects of the moisture removal process. The manufacturing process of meat snacks involves initial meat preparation, preparation of the curing solution, meat processing and curing, and quality check and packaging. The curing solution has antimicrobial effects that prevent growth of harmful bacteria.

Manufacturers are continuously innovating these products in terms of making them easily available to consumers. For instance, development of small and innovative on-the-go packages, makes meat snacks convenient and easy to eat. These environmental friendly and easy-to-carry packaging are increasingly gaining popularity in the meat snacks market.
