Jerky and snack manufacturer Werner Gourmet Meat Snacks Inc. in Tillamook, OR has released a new meat snack.

In an attempt to reach health-conscious consumers embarking on diet programs such as Paleo, Keto, and Whole30, the company is producing a sugar-free, grass-fed beef jerky.

“We have seen other beef jerky brands touting either zero sugar or grass-fed beef, but few are paring the two together,” explains President and Co-Founder of Werner Gourmet Meat Snacks Inc., Ken Werner.

The new product will come packaged in 2 oz bags in three different flavors: original, salt and pepper, and unsweetened teriyaki.

“It’s definitely not going to be the sweet beef jerky consumers are accustomed to, but there is a lot of research out there to support this kind of product,” describes Lauren Seeger, director of marketing for Werner Gourmet Meat Snacks Inc.
