About BEEF JERKY
This product is a processed beef snack. It is characterized by a very high protein content, derived primarily from beef and hydrolyzed soy protein, but also contains significant amounts of carbohydrates and fat. The carbohydrate content is largely due to added sugars and corn syrup solids. It is a highly concentrated source of calories. Due to its high sodium content (implied by the inclusion of salt and soy sauce), added sugars, and fat content, this snack should be consumed in moderation. It does not represent a significant source of essential micronutrients.
