Mr. P’s Beef Jerky – Hot Flavor Beef Jerky

Sunday, June 15, 2014 2 Comments

Mr. P's Beef Jerky  - Hot Flavor Beef JerkyBack in 2012, I made an online purchase of Mr. P’s beef jerky. This review will focus on a 4 ounce/113 gram bag of their hot flavor.

The Mr. P’s brand of jerky is manufactured and distributed by Mr. P’s Beef jerky located in DeLand, Florida. This jerky started out to be for family and friends, then they opened a brand new USDA certified beef jerky manufacturing plant in Deland, Florida.

Mr. P's Beef Jerky  - Hot Flavor Beef Jerky

Ingredient Review

Ingredients: Beef, Hot sauce (peppers, vinegar, salt, xanthan gum, and benzoate of soda to preserve freshness and flavor), soysauce (water, wheat, soybeans, salt, sodium benzoate less than 1/10 of 1% as a preservative), habanero pepper sauce (red habanero pepper, vinegar, carrots, onion, salt, garlic & vegetable gum), cayenne pepper sauce (cayenne pepper, vinegar, salt, garlic), Hot chili sauce (chili, sugar, salt, garlic, distilled vinegar, potassium sorbate, sodium bisulfite as a preservative, xanthan gum), garlic, paprika, jalapeno sauce (distilled vinegar, jalapeno pepper, water, salt, corn starch, xanthan gum, ascorbic acid to preserve freshness), sugar, onion powder, black pepper, chili powder    Allergen Warnings: Soy, Wheat

The beef used is not guaranteed to be free of growth hormones or additional antibiotics. Also, the beef is not guaranteed to have at least partial free range access to graze on grass. As a result, the highest ingredient rating that can be awarded is a Good (8/10) rating.

We have an interesting liquid marinade used here with a decent hot sauce, an average soy sauce, a healthy habanero pepper sauce, a healthy cayenne pepper sauce, an average hot chili sauce, and a good jalapeno sauce. Kudos to Mr. P’s Beef jerky for breaking down the ingredient lists of each sauce.

The hot flavor is achieved with some hot based sauces and chili powder. As a general rule, hot based foods are healthy if eaten in moderation.

There is no nutrition facts table provided. As a result, the exact sugar and salt levels are unknown.

Mr. P’s Beef jerky advertises their jerky as being preservative free. However I disagree to a certain degree. Yes, no added preservatives such as sodium nitrite are added. But, some of the sauces used contain preservatives such assodium benzoate (twice), potassium sorbate and sodium bisulfite. This jerky doea qualify to have no MSG added.

Alright (6/10) – Ingredient Rating

Taste Review

The jerky strips were mainly thin and large in size. The texture was good, not being too soft or too dry.

Unfortunately, back in 2012, I did not keep detailed taste notes on this jerky. The notes that I do have indicated that this jerky tasted great. I also remember that for all of the Mr. P’s beef jerky flavors that I tried, once a bag was started, it would be finished in no time. Another thing I remember about the taste, it was unassuming but addictive.

In 2012, I paid $7.00 for a 4 ounce/113 gram bag, which works out to $1.75 an ounce. To Mr. P’s Beef jerky credit, the price is still the same in 2014 even though the price of beef has noticeably risen. That equates to $1.75 an ounce, which rates as a borderline cheap price. This jerky is recommended as worth your money.

Very Good (9/10) – Taste Rating

Bag Review

We have an interesting bag here. The plastic bag itself is transparent and resealable. There are two fairly small labels on this jerky, one at the back and one on the front. The Mr. P’s logo on the front is a happy, kind of goofy looking cow.

The slogan under the logo is “Made in DeLand, Florida“. For reasons I cannot explain, there is a note stating “* Do Not Refrigerate”. As far as I know, there is no harm keeping your jerky cool in a refrigerator.

A few minor bag categories are missing, such as a nutrition facts table, jerky weight is not stated in grams, a bar code, and allergen alerts. Admirably, there is a phone number supplied for customer inquiries.

    Mr. P’s Beef Jerky –

    The worst jerky I’ve ever had! The worst service I’ve gotten since the 80’s! If there was 0 stars I’d have given that! Total joke. You place an order in 2019 and it takes 3 weeks. Doesnt say a word about that on there website. Patiently awaited the jerky assuming it was going to be phenomenal….Nope dried out leather, no flavor, complete garbage. Beware this company has been pushed by news stations. It’s a total scam. The 7/11 beef jerky BY FAR way better no wait! I hope you go out of business soon and stop scamming people!

    The best beef Jerky I have had since the 70’s. Everyone now makes all these chunky thick moist stuff that I don’t consider real jerky. Mr. P’s is a great company. Customer service is great. I can buy direct here in central FL. I dont buy any other since I have tried Mr. P’s years ago. The hot and spicy is my favorite. They use a great cut of meat and the flavors are true old fashion jerky. Who ever left the comment above saying it was the worst they had definitely doesn’t know good jerky. I have never known anyone whos trred it personally that did not thik it was great. I suggest you try and see for yourself. Its worth trying if your a true fan of good beef jerky.
