Original Beef and Pork Jerky Stick, 1 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd spot this smoky beef and pork stick in the snack aisle, at gas stations, or tucked into a hiking or road-trip stash — an easy grab-and-go savory bite. It gives a practical, slightly nostalgic jerky vibe, but the chewy texture and long shelf life come from industrial processing (collagen casing, starter culture, lactic acid, added seasonings and colorings). Those ingredients and manufacturing steps point away from a simple cured meat toward an ultra-processed snack.
