Ingredient Review
Ingredients: Beef, Ground Pepper, Sea Salt.
The beef brisket 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.
There is no liquid marinade. This can be referred to as a dry rub or old fashioned jerky.
The second ingredient by weight is ground pepper. Some people refer to black pepper as the King of Spices.
The sugar level is perfect at 0 grams of sugar per 28 grams of jerky. The salt level is very low at 115mg of salt per 28 grams of jerky.
This jerky does qualify to have no sodium nitrite added. Admirably, there is no MSG added.
Good (8/10) – Ingredient Rating

CLEAN JERKY CO. – SEA SALT & PEPPER BEEF JERKY
Written by guest jerky reviewer Paul Rekker
When I open the bag I smell natural beef and nothing else. The jerky is medium in size, and it is sliced thin. The jerky is dry and rigid, exactly as our forefathers intended. There is no oily residue handling these jerky strips.
When I bite into the jerky I taste salt at a very decent level, and I also taste the pepper at a very decent level, as well as the natural beef and not much else.
For a jerky with only three ingredients, it is ridiculously tasty, not to mention addictive. This flavor of jerky tastes like “more”. What a delectable, succulent and supremely tasty flavor, I am hooked. This is like “crack in a bag”.
Quite honestly, anything less than a 10/10 is a travesty of justice. Color me sold.
Here is what Mark had to say about this Sea Salt & Pepper beef jerky flavor from Clean Jerky Co.: “Thanks Paul for the glowing taste review. I agree 100%. It is surprising how flavorful this jerky is with only two added ingredients. Unfortunately, much of the pepper fell off the strips, which is often the case with a black pepper flavor. The natural beef flavor is at a good level, and thankfully, there is no sugar present to drown out the taste of beef. What also helps is that this texture has good old fashioned dry, tough texture but not tough enough to break your teeth. A unanimous Excellent (10/10) taste rating will be awarded. A very enthusiastic two thumbs up!!👍👍”
Three 3 ounce/85 gram bags of jerky sold online for $14.99, which equates to $5.00 an ounce. That rates as an expensive price.

Bag Review
This plastic resealable bag has everything imprinted on the bag front and back. The Clean Jerky Co. logo has a cow displaying all the cuts of beef, and cleverly, the transparent window is the same shape.
Some slogans printed on this bag could be “Who Doesn’t Want Their Jerky CLEAN” and “Beef – Ground Pepper – Sea Salt…& That’s it. No bulls**t”. Some facts printed are “No MSG”, “No Sugar”, “No Preservatives”, “No High Fructose Corn Syrup”, “Solid Steak Strips”, “Hand Crafted”, and “13 Protein – 60 Calories Per Serving”.
There are no missing bag categories. A good blurb about this jerky is printed on the back. A QR code is displayed to scan and save on your next purchase. A QR code is displayed to scan and save on your next purchase. To Clean Jerky Co. credit, an email address is provided for customer inquiries.
