About KROGER, BEEF JERKY, ORIGINAL
Kroger Original Beef Jerky is a savory dried beef snack sold under The Kroger Co.'s house brand, formulated with a classic jerky marinade for everyday snacking. Each 28-gram serving provides 286 calories per 100 grams, with 21.43 grams of carbohydrates, 3.57 grams of fat, 42.86 grams of protein, and 3.6 grams of dietary fiber — the latter an unusually high fiber figure that may reflect USDA database rounding for jerky products.
Beef is the primary ingredient, marinated with water, sugar, salt, maltodextrin, and vinegar for flavor and moisture. Monosodium glutamate (MSG) contributes umami enhancement. Black pepper powder and garlic powder provide classic jerky seasoning. Papaya juice contains papain, a natural proteolytic enzyme that tenderizes the beef during marination. Sodium tripolyphosphate is a phosphate salt used to retain moisture and improve texture. Sodium erythorbate accelerates the curing process and helps maintain reddish color in conjunction with sodium nitrite. Citric acid provides additional tartness and acts as an acidulant. Natural smoke flavor delivers the smoked character without actual wood smoking. Disodium inosinate enhances savory flavor. Sodium nitrite is the primary curing agent, inhibiting bacterial growth and contributing the characteristic pink-red color of cured meats.
This product is free from wheat, dairy, soy, eggs, tree nuts, and peanuts. It contains MSG, sodium nitrite, and phosphate salts. Suitable for gluten-free diets. Best as a protein-dense snack for travel, hiking, and active lifestyles.
