For far too long, snacking has come with a negative connotation. It’s been a term to indicate that a diet has temporarily gone off the rails. Those days are no more.

Chef’s Cut Real Jerky Co is on a mission to redefine snacking with healthy, protein-packed jerky and meat snacks. All of our products are made from the finest cuts of chef-crafted meats paired with real ingredients. We’re not taking any shortcuts, either. None of our products contain any nitrates, nitrites, or artificial preservatives. It’s a nutrition-conscious way to snack, and, quite frankly, we think it’s the best way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Chef’s Cut gluten free?

Yes.

Is Chef’s Cut Real Jerky Dairy Free?

Yes.

Do you use MSG?

No! Chef’s Cut Real Jerky does not use MSG in our products and never has.

No.

Are there any Nitrites or Nitrates?

Some of your products contain soy protein.

Is the soy protein a GMO or GMO-free ingredient?

Our soy protein does contain GMO. The United States (85%) and Argentina (98%) produce almost exclusively genetically-modified (GM) soybeans. Producers and government officials in the U.S. and Argentina do not see a reason to keep GM and conventionally bred cultivars separate – whether during harvest, shipment, storage or processing.

Are GMO soybeans safe?

Chef’s Cut’s raw materials are approved, monitored and reviewed throughout the production process in accordance with USDA-FSIS and FDA regulations, and industry best-practices. The GM soybeans we use are approved without restrictions and are treated just like conventional soybeans.

What are the average calories per serving?

Our average calorie count per 1 oz. serving is about 80 calories. This is very low for jerky products and we pride ourselves on the fact that we are not only low in calories, but we are also high in protein AND low in fat.

Which flavor has the lowest amount of sugar?

Our Buffalo Style Chicken Jerky has the lowest amount of sugar with 1 gram per 1 oz. serving.

Which flavor has the lowest amount of sodium?

Our Honey Barbecue Chicken Jerky has the lowest amount of sodium with 190 mg per 1 oz. serving.
