Common questions

Is Heritage Biltong healthy?

Heritage Biltong scores 22/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in Heritage Biltong?

Heritage Biltong lists 19 ingredients, starting with Beef, Seasoning, Dextrose, Caster Sugar and Salt. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Heritage Biltong contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Heritage Biltong’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".
