What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the snack or jerky aisle (or on an outdoor/road-trip display) — a small 2-oz pack meant for hikes, long drives, or a protein-first snack between meals. Its chewy, savory, slightly smoky character and ingredient list (grass-fed beef, miso, vinegar, natural smoke) give a practical, outdoorsy vibe and indicate a preserved, ready-to-eat product that is processed but not packed with industrial additives.
