Black Pepper Smoked Jerky, 3 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd spot this in the plant-based or jerky snack aisle — a grab-and-go, savory option for road trips, hikes, or a protein-rich lunchbox. It leans into a smoky, nostalgic jerky vibe while signaling health-conscious intent; the chewy texture and long shelf-life come from industrially processed textured soy, added flavors, and stabilizing antioxidants, which are hallmarks of highly processed products.
