Sugar-Free Beef Jerky

By: Ana Reisdorf, MS, RD

So you’re looking for a high-quality protein, low-carb snack to munch on. Beef jerky is a great option, right?

Yes, beef jerky is a good source of protein. But when you take a peek at the label, you find that it is loaded with sugar, too!

If you are trying to follow a low carb or keto diet, or simply prefer to limit sugar, you might want to start looking for no sugar beef jerky. When you do, it is essential to check the label on your beef jerky because some brands do add sugar.

Our Chomps meat sticks have 0g sugar and are only made with the highest quality ingredients.

Does Beef Jerky Have Sugar?

Yes, some beef jerky can contain sugar, depending on how it is made. During the manufacturing process, it helps add bulk to the jerky. Sugar-containing ingredients do not cook off during the drying process, so it creates a bulkier (and less expensive) product.

Since brands are required to disclose ingredients on the label, you can look for specific ones that indicate the product isn’t zero-sugar beef jerky. These include:

  • White sugar
  • Brown sugar
  • Honey
  • Molasses
  • Maple syrup
  • Teriyaki
  • Coconut sugar
  • High fructose corn syrup

While these ingredients may add flavor to the jerky, they can also add up to 10 grams of sugar per serving. The worst part is that the jerky may not even taste very sweet, yet still contain a significant amount of sugar. This turns your low-carb snack into a high-carb snack!

Our Chomps meat sticks are not made with any sugar. We simply use 100% grass-fed and finished beef or venison plus seasonings. We believe in being transparent about our ingredients, so when you pick up a Chomps meat stick, you can be confident that it is 0g sugar beef jerky.

Why Choose Sugar-Free Beef Jerky?

The average American consumes over 17 teaspoons of sugar per day, more than 2-3 times the recommended amount. Excessive sugar intake can lead to a variety of chronic health conditions and is a contributor to poor metabolism.

Therefore, cutting back on sugar from foods where it won’t even be missed, like with no sugar beef jerky, is a great idea. The benefits of sugar-free beef jerky include:

  • Fits into a low carb or keto diet
  • Supports healthy blood sugar
  • Reduces overall sugar intake
  • Contains no unnecessary additives

If you are going to eat foods that contain sugar, why not eat something that tastes sweet?
