Breakdown

7 ingredients to avoid

Jack Link's beef and cheese stick scores 20/100 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.

Jack Link's beef and cheese stick lists 21 ingredients, starting with Beef, Water, Salt, Corn Syrup and 2% Or Less of Flavors. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 20/100 Jack Link's beef and cheese stick scores worse than most jerky & meat snacks we have scored.
