Old Dutch beef jerky

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 4 ingredients to avoid

Old Dutch beef jerky scores 30/100 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.

Old Dutch beef jerky lists 10 ingredients, starting with Beef, Salt, Sugars, Monosodium Glutamate and Spices. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 30/100 Old Dutch beef jerky scores worse than most 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.
