Ultra-processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

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 Uncured Hard Salami & Pepper Jack lists 13 ingredients, starting with Pork, Beef, Sea Salt, Cane Sugar and Lactic Acid Starter Culture. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.
