THANASI Foods has secured licenses from Jim Beam and Frank's RedHot to create snack foods using the licensed brands as the flavor component. THANASI Foods' first product created was Jim Beam Sunflower Seeds in 2004, followed quickly by Jim Beam beef jerky. In 2005, THANASI Foods won the CSP award for Retailer Choice Best New Product for its Jim Beam Beef Jerky product.
