BranchOut Food launches 100%-fruit chips with Zesty Snackz YouTubers, shipping April
BranchOut Food will ship its first container of single-ingredient mango, pineapple, strawberry and banana chips under a new Zesty Snackz line in April, leveraging its GentleDry™ dehydration technology and a partnership with creators Brenten Szekely and Paul Cuffaro. Follow-on container orders are expected thereafter via the creators’ direct-to-consumer channel.
1. Partnership Overview
BranchOut Food has teamed with Zesty Snackz founders Brenten Szekely and Paul Cuffaro to co-develop a new line of single-ingredient fruit chips. The collaboration merges BranchOut’s patented GentleDry™ dehydration process with the creators’ multi-million-follower digital platforms.
2. Product Details
The Zesty Snackz Fruit Chips line will feature 100% real fruit—mango, pineapple, strawberry and banana—without added sugars, preservatives or artificial ingredients. GentleDry™ technology preserves up to 95% of original nutrients, delivering vibrant flavor and shelf-stable convenience.
3. Launch and Distribution
BranchOut plans to ship its first full container of fruit chips to Zesty Snackz in April, followed by additional container-sized orders. Products will be distributed through the creators’ direct-to-consumer channels, distinct from BranchOut’s existing retail and industrial networks.
4. Marketing and Growth Potential
By leveraging Szekely and Cuffaro’s authentic engagement and storytelling, BranchOut aims to tap an untapped DTC audience. The partnership’s digital reach across YouTube, Instagram and TikTok is expected to drive brand awareness and accelerate snack line adoption.
