The catch

One 37 gram bar packs 390 milligrams of sodium, about 17 percent of a day, and it is still a processed cured meat despite the clean label. (source)

The honest take

This is a shelf stable 1.3 ounce bar of 100 percent grass fed beef blended with uncured bacon and dried apples, giving you 8 grams of protein for 140 calories with 0 grams of added sugar. The 3 grams of sugar come from the apples, not syrup, and the ingredient list is genuinely short and recognizable, which is rare in this aisle. The honest caveat is that it is still a processed meat snack carrying 390 milligrams of sodium, so it reads more like a clean jerky style bar than a health food. If you want a savory, low sugar protein hit that travels well, it earns its spot.
