As a minority and family-owned business, we feel a responsibility to always go the extra mile. That philosophy hasn't changed from our first meat stick to our millionth.
Chomps is now the fastest-growing meat snack brand in the US* and through all this growth, we pride ourselves on sticking to our roots, from our products to our philosophies.
OUR MISSION
POWER EVERYDAY MOMENTS WITHOUT COMPROMISE THROUGH ACcESSIBLE, DELIcIOUSLY SATISFYING REAL FOOD.
OUR PURPOSE
Chomps started with a simple goal: make real, satisfying food more accessible so people can power everyday moments without compromise. What started as an idea between the two has grown into a brand reaching millions of people. With that growth, our responsibility has grown as well. The choices we make about how we source our food, how we invest in our people, how we support communities and how we manage our environmental footprint now have far greater reach.
OUR IMPACT IN ACTION

Yes, making delicious snacks is part of what we do, but our real appetite is for protecting the people, planet, and communities that make it all possible.
Equip people with the knowledge, habits, and resources to lead active lives for the long run.
Are Chompians equipped to grow and thrive for the long run?
Support the long-term resilience of the resources and food systems that make our products possible.
Are we caring for the food systems and resources we depend on?
Strengthen communities by expanding access to nutritious food and backing the organizations that help.
Are we expanding access to nutritious food and strengthening communities?
Each year, our Continual Education Opportunity program gives every Chompian a budget to build professional skills. This year we’ve enhanced the program and now nearly 10% of Chompians have used the benefit. This is just a starting point and we’re excited to expand this program to more Chompians as they grow in their roles and careers.
Every Chompian gets paid time off to volunteer. Anything that supports people, communities, or the planet counts. During Earth Month, we amplify by joining Good Deeds Day, a global movement that unites people from more than 100 countries to do good deeds each year in April.
We take our product seriously, which means Chompians across functions are given a hands-on training experience through the UW-Madison Meat Stick Short Course where they learn firsthand about meat processing, food safety, quality, and how small changes impact the tasty snack we all enjoy today.
We are passionate about helping maintain a thriving planet for future generations. Our partnership with 1% For the Planet reinforces our commitment to contribute a value equal to 1% of net sales to eligible environmental and social impact initiatives.
Plastic packaging keeps our food safe and long lasting. It also creates waste we can't ignore. So we're reducing where we can. In fact, we reduced thickness in our pouch film by 13% in 2026 from 2025. But we’re still exploring other packaging solutions to reduce further.
Chomps understands its role in creating plastic waste, and that's why we've teamed up with 4ocean, a global cleanup organization dedicated to cleaning up & preserving the ocean by removing 8 million pounds of plastic from the ocean, coastlines, and coastal communities. Learn more about how we’re working together here.
We're partnering with Boys & Girls Clubs nationally to stock snack stations with nutritious options and pair it with food literacy programming for teens.
From surplus to plate, we’re not inventing a clever supply chain here, we just work with partners who know their region and how to move volume, so we can get our snacks in more people’s hands.
In 2025, we donated over 10 million sticks to increase access to nutritious food options for communities. We’ve pledged a goal of 5 million sticks per year going forward – a floor, not a ceiling.
VERIFIED BY OTHERS
Independent verification helps ensure our actions align with our intentions.
B CORP CERTIFICATION
Social and environmental performance
Check out our role as a B Corp here.
Chomps has officially received its B Corp Certification — this certification defines the high standards of social and environmental impact that a company must achieve. What started as a commitment to high standards in our products, has led to those same high standards being applied across our business. We see this as a huge milestone on the path to setting a new standard in snacking.
What does that mean? A B Corp Certification is awarded by the nonprofit B Lab, who evaluates businesses based on their impact on various stakeholders across Governance, Workers, Community, Customers, and the Environment.
Why is it important to Chomps? This reflects our belief that companies today must hold themselves to a higher standard—whether it’s how we treat people, protect the planet, or build our culture. Our certification is both a celebration of progress and a challenge to keep pushing forward by using our business as a force for good.
CHOMPS ARE NON-ULTRAPROCESSED FOOD (NON-UPF) VERIFIED
Made without ultra processing and without ultra processed ingredients*
What does that mean? Non-UPF Verified is a third-party certification, led by the Non-GMO Project, designed to identify products that avoid the core hallmarks of ultra-processing, including both engineered additives and industrial processes that degrade food structure and function.
Why is it important to Chomps? This Non-UPF certification reflects our longstanding commitment to product integrity and affirms that our products prioritize less-intensive processing methods. It’s a third-party certification that helps us ensure we continue to deliver nutritious snacks the whole family can feel good about.
Which products are verified? All of our beef, chicken, turkey, and venison sticks are verified, as of September 2026. *as identified by the Non-UPF Verification
