World Kitchens Beef Jerky, 3.1 Ounce (Pack of 4)

If you like Jack LInk's, this is a cheaper version. One person states they get a headache from eating Jack Links' but this taste very similar to it. Why? Because Jack Link's purchased World Kitchens few years back. Okay, I eat cheap beef jerky and expensive ones too. This and Jack's are what I call cheap beef jerkys. You get what you pay for, these are NOT made in USA rather "PACKAGED", probably bought beef from South America or New Zealand or some other country bring it bulk into USA and then "Packaged in USA". You don't know if it was fed hormones or antibiotics. It's probably not free ranged cows.Now, don't get me wrong, I still buy these to eat. It's no difference from buying hamburgers at a fast food joint, does anybody know where the beef actually comes from or what it was fed. But I do purchased 100% USA made jerkys with no hormones. They are way better but 2-3 times more expensive. So, I supplement with these cheaper ones but don't be fooled if you think you getting 100% raised cows from the good ole USA. I personally do not give too much of these brands to my kids. Think about how people worry about giving beef snacks coming from out of the country to dogs yet not aware of beef jerky fed to people. Just be weary of that these companies are out to make a big profit.

This is my favorite brand of beef jerky (blows other brands like Jack Links, which is pretty good already, out of the water), but for some reason it is also the hardest for me to find around here. The only place I seem to be able to find it is at truck stops and other gas stations, so (as you probably would assume) this means it is way overpriced. When I saw it on Amazon for what is actually a very good deal (10 ounce bags from $11-$13 depending on the day) I was pretty excited. I ordered one bag of teriyaki (my favorite) and one bag of peppered. As I am writing this the sweet-n-hot flavor is not available, but I consider it to be equal to the teriyaki. It was already my favorite brand so the only thing left in question was whether it was going to be as fresh as I am used to. Fortunately, the jerky was just the right amount of moist, perfectly tender, and chewy. Every now and then you get a piece that is a little tougher than the others, but I actually don't mind because I just chew on it for a bit longer (enjoy it a bit longer), but for the most part you can count on very good texture. I plan on buying this on a regular basis. If you've never had World Kitchens jerky I would encourage you to give it a try and enjoy

Yum, yum, yum, yum, YUMMY! I love beef jerky and it seems so hard to find jerky with the right texture and flavor, and I am telling you I found my brand! It was just dry and chewy enough for me with the right amount of teriyaki flavor. Now there were a couple pieces that I really got a jaw workout on and maybe that worked out my jaw for the times I was eating something I really had no business eating. When I ordered it I saw it was a 10oz bag, but I really had no idea what size I was ordering. When I got it and saw truly how big a bag that was, I was thinking I sure hope I did not just waste my money on this big olde bag and I am not going to like it. I am so glad I do enjoy it. With this size bag I was even able to hand it to my Dad while we were snacking and watching tv AND still have some left in the bag when I got it back! Now that's a good size bag! LOL I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

I buy this at my local Vons grocery store, so went to Amazon to see if they carried it. I buy the original/non flavored type. Normally it is a soft chewy meaty square. Both of the "natural" flavors I bought here are hard thin jerky. Typical dried out leather strips you get with most other brands of jerky. I'm so disappointed that it is NOT the same as the identical packages I buy in a store.Photo shows a thick, soft chewy square from a store bought bag next the darker thin hard piece from the Amazon item. 😕

When they say hot and spicy, World Kitchens is one of the few companies that means it, right down to the seeds of the peppers coating the jerky. It's not like eating a jalapeno straight, but it will definitely make your mouth burn if you are not used to eating hot items. When I buy pork rinds, I always get the hot & spicy and I cover my moon pies in tabasco (just kidding). If you like heat you'll like the flavor of this jerky but unfortunately, it was too much for me. I guess I'll need to turn in my redneck card. Big strips and the texture is good. Contains MSG.

This is really good beef jerky - really tender and juicy, not a bad piece in the entire batch. The only reason I only gave 4 stars is because I would have liked the teriyaki flavor to be a stronger, it's very mellow but still good. I've also had the World Kitchens brown sugar jerky, same great quality with a unique flavor I've never had before - I also liked that one alot. All in all, World Kitchens is one of the best jerkys I've had. I'll definitely be buying more of this brand.

I wanted a snack I could eat in my vehicle on the way home from work as a protein portion and remembered beef jerky from days gone by. Bought some at the grocery store (another brand) and it was OK, but thought I'd have a look on amazon. All the reviews encouraged me to try World Kitchens and I'm so glad I did! I ordered both the brown sugar and the pepper varieties and each was excellent: moist and chewy and full of flavor. I did notice that the package instructed that you refrigerate its contents if unopened for more than three days, and that has worked well for me. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

The flavor isn't bad and the amount you get for the price is impressive, but I had a bad experience with what I ordered. There is sand or something likewise gritty in the product. I have experienced this with two separate bags(different flavors as well).(Update)I bought a third bag because it's so cheap and I want it to be good. haha This time there was no sand but for two pieces had the grit. I have no idea how so much got in the previous bags. It isn't the most flavourful jerky, but it is quality meat at a very good price. If I was a survivalist hoarder, I'd buy it by the barrel.(Second Update)They doubled the price. This jerky is in no way worth$20 for a 10oz bag.
