I dont know all the details. They are still in business, but are no longer making the pork rind products.
My general understanding is: America's demand for pork shifted to
a younger more tender pig. The younger swine has a softer hide and
Uncle Josh's suppliers only had access to the softer hide but
required a tougher hide for the durability in quality pork rinds. For
the last 3 years the rinds were pretty weak, and customers
noticed....so they pulled the plug.
