What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the snack or jerky aisle or toss it in a bag for road trips, hikes, or a quick post-workout bite. It gives a practical, protein-forward vibe — slightly wholesome from the "grass-fed" claim but primarily convenience-focused. The beef is seasoned, preserved and stuffed into a collagen casing with additives (encapsulated lactic acid, cultured celery powder, cherry powder), producing a chewy, shelf-stable texture and signaling industrial ultra-processing.
