YUMBO® Expands Premium Sausage Sticks Line with Ginger Teriyaki Variety

Fast-growing, hardwood-smoked meat snacks brand expands availability at major retailers nationwide following explosive sales growth

HOMEWOOD, Ill. (May 13, 2026)—YUMBO®, the high-protein, premium sausage stick brand known as “meat for real meatheads” and manufactured by Old Wisconsin® Sausage Inc., a subsidiary of Carl Buddig and Company®, is proud to announce significant retail expansion and the launch of its newest flavor: Ginger Teriyaki. The new line extension comes on the heels of major retail wins, placing the brand’s entire lineup of bold, hardwood-smoked, premium cuts of meat in front of more consumers nationwide. Fans will have an opportunity to taste the new variety, along with the full product assortment, during its official debut at Sweet & Snacks Expo (booth #4437), to be held in Las Vegas, May 19-21.

“With Ginger Teriyaki, we are hoping to excite our fans’ palates with a unique spin on one of the top-selling flavors in the meat snack category,” comments Charlie Kuoni, Senior Brand Manager, Old Wisconsin & YUMBO. “With eight in 10 Americans prioritizing protein during at least one eating occasion each day[1], we aim to entice new audiences with bold and intriguing taste that bridges from meal to meal perfectly.”

The new Ginger Teriyaki variety (MSRP beginning at $3.49 across all 2 oz varieties) is crafted with premium cuts of pork and beef, and delightfully aromatic ginger balanced with tangy teriyaki flavor for a zesty umami snacking experience. Each premium sausage stick is gluten-free, features 11g protein per serving, and contains no fillers, no added MSG, and zero trans fat. Ginger Teriyaki joins YUMBO’s robust lineup of 2 oz, individually wrapped meat sticks, which includes:

• Original YUMBO: A premium blend of beef and pork, slow-smoked to perfection
• Turkey YUMBO: Offering hardwood-smoked and savory turkey flavor
• Hot & Spicy YUMBO: Packed with serrano, jalapeño, and red peppers for serious heat
• Honey Brown Sugar Turkey YUMBO: A sweet and savory premium turkey option

“The velocity of YUMBO, from our new Ginger Teriyaki flavor to our multipack offerings and expanding retail partnerships, has been tremendous,” says James Buddig, Executive VP, C Store, Carl Buddig and Company, and a fourth-generation member of the Buddig family. “Today’s consumers are looking for bigger, better-tasting meat sticks that don’t sacrifice quality, and our sales growth proves we are filling that gap.”

Consumers can now find YUMBO at major convenience stores and traditional grocery and retail outlets, including 7-Eleven, Wawa, Circle K, Speedway, Maverik, Walmart, Meijer, ShopRite, and Piggly Wiggly, as well as online on Amazon.
