Ultra-processed snacks are unfortunately the norm on our shop shelves, this alternative was exciting to see.
Delighted to see Donegal entrepreneurs come up with an innovative high-protein snack that's not full of artificial flavourings.
In a world where it's difficult to avoid additives and ultra-processed foods, this product is great for the conscience of those who care about what they put into their bodies.
As both a venison lover and someone always on the go, your product is so appealing, I can't wait to try it.
A product packed with local, wild, clean high protein, what's not to like? Important for us to support local, small, ethical food suppliers.
Snacks made with locally sourced wild ingredients are almost impossible to find unless you forage them yourself, so this is a great product to have available.

Protein bar based on a leading chocolate-coated whey bar sold in Irish retail. Beef jerky based on a leading brand sold in Irish convenience retail. Charge! figures: Garlic & Black Pepper variant, Beechwood Laboratories verified.
Not the way you're thinking. Wild Irish venison is lean, clean and naturally rich, closer to good beef than anything you'd describe as game. Seasoned with garlic, black pepper or chilli, it's deeply savoury and moreish. Most first-timers are surprised how approachable it is.
88-91% wild Irish venison depending on flavour, plus salt, spices and a natural curing system. That's it. No soy protein isolate, no sugar syrups, no sweeteners, no artificial preservatives, no ingredients you need to Google. Two flavours: Garlic & Black Pepper and Chilli & Garlic.
No. Charge is made the old way, cured, seasoned and slow-dehydrated. It's a real meat product with a short, honest ingredient list. The opposite of what most "protein snacks" have become.
Soft-bite and satisfying, not tough or chewy like some jerky. Each twin-stick pack is easy to eat on the move without mess or effort. Think proper meat stick, not a dried-out bar.
Charge has a verified 12-month ambient shelf life, unopened. No fridge ever needed. That shelf stability comes from traditional curing and dehydration, not from a long ingredients list. In practice, they tend not to last that long.
Curing uses salt, that's part of what makes Charge shelf-stable without artificial preservatives. Full sodium information is on the nutrition panel.
From wild deer herds in Ireland, ethically and sustainably sourced. Wild venison is free-ranging and not intensively farmed. It's also the reason Charge tastes the way it does.
Venison is naturally leaner and higher in protein per calorie than most conventional meats. It's also wild, Irish and genuinely distinctive, not another commodity protein source. We chose it because it's better for this job, not just different for the sake of it.
Per 42g twin-stick pack: 15g protein, 131 calories, under 1g sugar, low carb. Full nutrition info is on every pack and on the product page.
Yes. Under 3g carbohydrates and under 1g sugar per pack. Charge fits keto, low-carb and high-protein routines without compromise.
Charge contains no gluten-containing ingredients. We have not tested to certified gluten-free standards, so if you have coeliac disease or a serious gluten intolerance please check with us before ordering.
Charge contains no dairy ingredients. Always check the label if you have a milk allergy.
Charge is a clean, high-protein savoury snack with no added sugar, no sweeteners and no ultra-processed fillers. Many women following a higher-protein approach tell us Charge fits easily into their routine. It's food, not a supplement, just real protein from real meat.
Charge is a practical high-protein snack that fits easily around training. 15g protein per pack, low calorie, low carb, portable and shelf-stable. It suits casual gym-goers, GAA players, BJJ athletes and Hyrox competitors equally well.
Yes. At 131 calories and 15g protein per pack, Charge is easy to build into a tracked diet. It gives you a reliable protein hit without blowing your calorie budget, and it doesn't need to be cooked, chilled or prepared.
Built for it. No fridge, no prep, no mess. Charge was designed for people who need real food during long working days, not a vending machine bar or a packet of crisps. Tradespeople, farmers, drivers and anyone working away from a kitchen tell us it fills a gap nothing else really did.
That's exactly who it's for. Short ingredient list, no artificial preservatives, no sweeteners, no soy isolate, no emulsifiers. Charge is a cured and dehydrated meat product made the traditional way. It's processed in the sense that all cooked food is, but it's not ultra-processed in the way most packaged snacks are.
Because the main ingredient is wild Irish venison, not sugar, soy isolate and vegetable oil. Real meat from real animals costs more than synthetic filler. What you're paying for is food, not a confectionery product wearing a protein label.

They're all trying to be chocolate bars.
Nothing tastes of food anymore.
It's just like eating an ordinary chocolate bar.
It seems like I'm eating all UPF and everything is a small dessert!!
All very sweet and mostly chocolate.
Full of sweeteners, makes me bloated.
