People’s Choice Beef Jerky – Original Beef Jerky

Thursday, January 21, 2016 Leave a Comment

People's Choice Beef Jerky - Original Beef JerkyThe next review for People’s Choice Beef Jerky will focus on a 2.5 ounce/71 gram bag of their old fashioned style original flavored beef jerky. This bag was kindly submitted for review by Brian Bianchetti.

This People’s Choice Beef Jerky brand is distributed by Peoples Sausage Company, Inc., based out of Los Angeles, California. The company was founded in 1929 by John Bianchetti, who had a vision to sell high quality products with honesty and hard work. In 1955, John’s son Paul Bianchetti took over the company. Today, Mark Bianchetti owns the company, where even a fourth generation of family is involved now. The company philosophy has never wavered, and they have reinvented their products and services based on changing market trends, while still retaining their identity.

Ingredient Review

Ingredients: Beef, Water, Sea Salt, Natural Spices, Cane Sugar, Garlic Powder.

People's Choice Beef Jerky - Original Beef JerkyThe beef is sourced from Nebraska Beef, where the marbling allows the beef to not be too fatty tasting. The cattle used is not guaranteed to be growth hormone free. Also, the cattle used is not guaranteed to have partial free range access to graze on grass. As a result, the highest ingredient rating achievable is a Good (8/10) rating.

People's Choice Beef Jerky - Original Beef JerkyWe have a pretty simple ingredient list here. The liquid marinade is only water, which is fitting for an old fashioned style of original jerky. Healthy spices such as garlic powder and other unspecified spices are used, where black pepper would be one of them.

People's Choice Beef Jerky - Original Beef JerkyThe sugar level is excellent, being at only 1 gram of sugar per 28 grams of jerky. The salt level is quite high at 510mg of salt per 28 grams of jerky. However, that is negated due to the fact that healthy and minimally processed sea salt is used, as opposed to regular table salt that is highly processed. Sea salt is high on minerals and trace minerals.

As advertised, this jerky does qualify to have no sodium nitrite, or any other similar unhealthy preservatives. Instead, the main preservative used is sea salt. Admirably, there is also no MSG added.

Good (8/10) – Ingredient Rating

Taste Review

These strips of beef are mostly medium in size, and are sliced to a medium thickness. There is a great, classic, old fashioned dry texture that is quite easy to chew. Barely any signs of fat are visible, and handling this jerky leaves no oily residue on your fingers.

The first taste detected is a light garlic flavor, and a faint peppered taste. There is very little sweetness, which allows an abundance of natural beef flavor to shine through, just the way an original flavor should be. The salt is at a mild level, to an almost moderate level. For a jerky flavor advertised as being “Old Fashioned”, it absolutely hits the mark. Overall, this is a surprisingly tasty jerky for an original flavor.

On the People’s Choice Beef Jerky web site, you must order a minimum of four bags online at a price of $18.00, which works out to $4.50 a bag. That translates to $1.80 an ounce, which rates as an average price. The price is very cheap at $1.25 an ounce if you order a 1 pound bag instead. This jerky is absolutely recommended to people who enjoy the natural flavor of beef.

Excellent (10/10) – Taste Rating

Bag Review

This is a standard sized plastic bag. Everything is imprinted directly on the bag, both on the front and back. There are no labels affixed to this bag. On the front, there is a drawing of a cow, where the different cuts of beef are numbered.

There are no clearly defined slogans printed. A number of facts are printed on the bag such as “Old Fashioned”, “Handmade”, “Downtown LA”, “All Natural”, “Gluten Free”, “High in Protein”, “No artificial ingredients and minimally processed”, “No Preservatives”, “No Additives”, “Made in downtown Los Angeles”, “Handcrafted”, and “Quality Ingredients”, and “Genuine Beef Jerky”.

The only bag category missing is that the bag is not resealable. Normally, a bag containing over 2 ounces of jerky would be resealable. There is a great blurb printed on the back about the brand and this old fashioned style of jerky.

Very Good (9/10) – Bag Rating
