What You Should Know

You'd spot this family-size peppered beef jerky in the grab-and-go snack aisle or piled near the checkout — a rugged, practical snack for road trips, tailgates, or a quick post-workout bite. It delivers a chewy, pepper-forward, campfire-like umami that feels both nostalgic and convenient. The ingredient list shows traditional preservation and flavoring (drying/curing, salt, sugar, tamari, liquid smoke and spices) indicating substantial processing for texture and shelf-stability, consistent with a processed preserved meat rather than a heavily reformulated industrial product.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

The product is made from whole beef with added salt, sugars, tamari, liquid smoke and spices and is preserved by drying/curing; these are characteristic of processed foods (NOVA 3) rather than ultra-processed formulations that contain industrial additives or novel food substances.
