UK food manufacturer Mariani Foods has launched a new European brand, which will include four beef jerky products.

The Legends line has been launched to highlight the company’s premium product quality, the company said today (18 March). Mariana said the launch also represents a “new generation” of beef jerky, which it says is “soft and easy to chew”, unlike most of the harder jerkys currently available in the UK.
