Think way back. Like even before that. Ancient civilizations fueled themselves with meat. If it worked for them, it can definitely help us power through. Made with lean cuts of 100% premium beef, each snack-sized .625 oz bag is packed with 7g of protein. It has no added MSG** or nitrates/nitrites and its 96% fat free. It's a protein-packed snack you can feel good about eating and feeding your family. Based on the Link family signature recipe, our Original Beef Jerky is marinated in a special blend of herbs and spices and slow cooked over hardwood smoke. It's a mild smoky taste the entire family enjoys. Pack the snack-size bags in lunches, bring one to work for powering through the mid-morning munchies and keep them in the pantry for an after school snack. No refrigeration required. When you open a Jack Link's meat snack, you get a taste of the American tradition that made this family business a success: hard work, fun and quality products. Our protein snacks are the fuel to help you Feed Your Wild Side. **Except for that naturally occurring in soy sauce, hydrolyzed corn protein, and yeast extract
