What You Should Know

You'd grab this small bag from the snack aisle or the grab-and-go cooler for a road trip, hike, or quick protein pick-me-up between meetings. It feels practical and wholesome with a rustic, savory/peppered chew that nods to campfire snacks and lunchbox simplicity. The product is cured, marinated and dehydrated with recognizable ingredients (tamari, brown sugar, liquid smoke) — giving it a long shelf life and chewy texture consistent with a processed preserved meat rather than an industrial ultra-processed invention.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Ingredients are mostly recognizable whole foods and traditional seasonings (salt, sugar, tamari, spices) and the product is made by curing/marinating and drying, so it fits NOVA group 3 (processed foods) rather than group 4 ultra-processed products that contain industrial additives and formulations.
