Jack Link's Beef Jerky

High histamine

Jack Link's Beef Jerky is high, mainly because of the soy sauce in its marinade.

Gluten

This is dried, seasoned beef flavored with sugar, salt, soy sauce, and hydrolyzed soy protein.

  • Soy sauce leads it — soy sauce is fermented, which makes it high, and that carries the whole product.

  • A cured, dried format — jerky is cured and long-dried beef, and cured meats tend to run high on their own, so the format compounds the picture.

For a savory protein snack, freshly cooked meat is the far gentler route.
