No, these 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks are free from GMOs, gluten, grains, corn, soy, and dairy.

First off, we haven't found any other similar products. There are several "grass fed" beef sticks on the market but ours is different for three main reasons.

1. Our beef is actually 100% grass fed and finished while others often claim "grass fed" only to finish the cattle on grain for the last few months of their lives. This process of grain finishing is enough to negatively alter the biological makeup of the animal, causing a more inflammatory product with fewer vitamins and nutrients.

2. Organic spices. Other products typically cut corners and use conventional spices because they are much less expensive. Spices are some of the most beneficial and antioxidant-rich foods on the planet. We do not consider spraying them with pesticides and then irradiating them to be beneficial processes when it comes to your health.

3. No encapsulated citric acid. This is where our beef sticks truly shine. Literally every other similar beef stick on the market (yes, even the so-called "healthy" ones) contains an ingredients called encapsulated citric acid. While this may sound innocent enough it is actually a very health damaging ingredient used for nothing more than preserving the product. It contain citric acid (sometimes lactic acid) typically derived from GMO corn which is then coated with hydrogenated oil – an ingredient known to cause massive amounts of inflammation. Instead of using this ingredient we use old world style, natural fermentation to preserve our sticks. The result is a delicious stick that is much juicier than others and, thanks to the fermentation process, the presence of gut-friendly probiotics.

We're glad you asked because we use organic dextrose for a very health conscious reason. First, our dextrose is derived from 100% organic cassava root (also known as tapioca). It is NOT used as a sweetener at all. We use a very small, trace amount (about 1/4th of 1 gram per stick) for the sole purpose of activating the fermentation process. By the end of the ferment there is little to no dextrose remaining in the stick as it has been consumed by the beneficial probiotic bacteria. Third party lab analysis has confirmed there are 0 grams of sugar in our beef sticks*
