Product: Chomps Jalapeno Beef Sticks
Description: A snacky 8-inch beef stick spiced with jalapeno peppers
Preparation summary: Ready to eat
High points: The stick is loaded with culinary correctness; it’s free of sugar, gluten, hormones and antibiotics. In addition, the beef comes from grass-fed cows and the product is USDA inspected. But…
Low points: It gave me the trots. A strange, mulch-like texture pervades beneath the unappealing casing. I’ll take instead those classic Slim Jim sticks filled with icky ingredients that you buy at the corner liquor store with a six pack of beer.
Average Retail Price: $1.99 per stick
Availability: Trader Joe’s, Amazon, and Thrive Market
