With jerky already the second most popular snack food in America, it is not inconceivable that jerky will eventually become the number one snack food in America. Read More

Jerky Ingredients News – Jerky Submissions #4
This news announcement is long overdue, where we have started all of the most recent jerky makers that submitted their jerky for review. In this round of submissions, I approached four jerky makers that are likely in the bottom half of the top 10 for jerky sales in North America. All four jerky makers agreed, but then out of nowhere, last minute Divine Bovine changed their mind.

Just How Natural is Your “All-Natural” Beef Jerky?
Written by Matt Tolnick, Lawless Jerky CEO and Founder.
For decades, beef jerky was a niche snack that had a small but dedicated cult following. Regardless of the brand, the flavors of mass-marketed jerky were unimaginative and limited. With an artisanal food movement sweeping America (in conjunction with the entrenched craft beer movement), beef jerky has been reimagined.
No longer is beef jerky dry, tough, and reserved for road tripping or camping. Jerky is increasingly appealing Read More
Jerky Ingredients News – More Jerky Submissions #3
It has been a while since we gave an update on new jerky submissions. In part that was because we took a break from accepting jerky submissions so that we could catch up in 2013 jerky purchases that were nearing their expiry dates, and to make amends for some previous non-live taste reviews. This latest round of jerky submissions includes a number of interesting jerky makers. One has been reviewed already, some are a work in progress, and the rest have yet to be started. To date, 17 jerky makers have come forward with jerky submissions, not including a number of others that have expressed interest but have not come to Read More
