Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

Vermont Smoke & Cure Premium Beef Sticks 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.

Vermont Smoke & Cure Premium Beef Sticks lists 12 ingredients, starting with Beef, Sea Salt, Spices, Cultured Celery Powder and Cherry Powder. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 65/100 Vermont Smoke & Cure Premium Beef Sticks 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 Mac's Pork Cracklins Chicharrones Caseros at 100/100.
