Protos Foods was founded in 1996 on the belief that consumers have become more focused on wellness and the major role that nutrition plays in a wellness program. The Company's first line of products was OStrim Meat Sticks, designed for people who are serious about their nutrition. This line is made from a combination of naturally-raised ostrich meat and lean beef with no fillers.

OStrim was the first and remains the #1 sports nutrition meat stick in the US market. The company's vision is to continuously introduce new meat snacks under the OStrim name that offer excellence in nutrition, taste and convenience. Protos Foods is headquartered in Greensburg, PA, 35 miles east of Pittsburgh, PA.
