Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

Jack Link's Original Beef Sticks scores 75/100 on Tallow — our clean 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 Original Beef Sticks lists 8 ingredients, starting with Grass Fed and Finished Beef, Beef Stock, Sea Salt, Water and Flavors. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 75/100 Jack Link's Original Beef Sticks sits in our top band, among the better jerky & meat snacks we have scored. A higher-scoring option in jerky & meat snacks is Brooklyn Biltong Naked Classic Tender Steak Slices at 95/100.
