Snack Strips, Wagyu Beef Steak, Grass-Fed and Paleo Friendly, 0.8 oz, 10 ct

First of all, this isn't really beef jerky and nowhere do they state that it is. Simply put, it is not your typical beef jerky. I don't know how these are processed because there are not nitrates, nitrites, or even celery powder - which are the ingredients used for curing meat. Yes, these are ground and formed meat strips, just as it says on the box and on each individual strip wrapper. These lack all the extra preservatives and additives that other strips and jerkys have. And although some of the other meats that they have are flavored with cranberry, apple, or bacon, these don't have much flavoring at all. Just added honey, which keeps it from being totally vile. When I first opened the package, the scent was that of old time (not ancient) jerky. The way jerky looked and tasted in the 70s. But the flavor is really meaty/bloody tasting, with little hint of honey that makes it palatable. I'm not hating on this, it's rather not really too bad... just gotta get used to that bloody raw meaty taste. I've had their beef/bacon/cranberry bars and those were not edible. They were totally disgusting. Maybe it's because these are thinner and more like jerky (you get less of a mouthful) that I find them easier to swallow. I'v had quite a bit of their "bacon" bars (note, they are bars, not strips), and really wish they'd make the bacon bars thin like these strips as well. Although I like the bacon best, sometimes it's just too much... it's like spam but not as tasty. The texture of these is much better. Bottom line, if you expect these to taste like O'berto stips, then don't get them. If you expect something that tastes like a caveman's dinner, then this is it.

I was really looking forward to this after seeing reviewers taste test it on youtube. To say I was disappointed is an understatement. It's about as tender as your typical steak jerky not soft and breaks apart in your hand like reviewers have claimed. Also the taste leaves a lot to be desired, it tastes like a generic, forgettable bland jerky stick. There is one thing that does stand out however in a negative way. There is a lingering aftertaste of black pepper that stays in your mouth for about 10-15 minutes after eating one of these, it probably is caused by the literal bits of black pepper on/inside of this stick, I felt myself chewing on literal black pepper after I had finished eating one of these sticks. For 2 dollars a piece I guess you get your moneys worth but for claiming something is "wagyu" when it blatantly isn't is just false advertising.

Pretty good

For some reason, they feel much more tough than the ones in a store.... kinda surprised and disappointed about it.. 🤷‍♀️

Thought it would be sent in the box as pictured. The sticks were just rubber banded together.
