Natural Grocers Beef Stick Original

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

Natural Grocers Beef Stick Original scores 65/100 on Tallow — our okay 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.

Natural Grocers Beef Stick Original lists 9 ingredients, starting with Beef, Sea Salt, Spices, Mustard and Cultured Celery Powder. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 65/100 Natural Grocers Beef Stick Original lands mid-scale — below the typical score in jerky & meat snacks, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in jerky & meat snacks is Brooklyn Biltong Naked Classic Tender Steak Slices at 95/100.
