Ingredients (15)
- Grass-Fed Beef (safe) — Complete high-quality protein from pasture-raised, grass-finished cattle; leaner and higher in omega-3s than grain-fed.
- Water (safe) — Added back as a filler/texture agent; harmless but dilutes.
- Sea Salt (safe) — Small amount for flavor balance.
- Encapsulated Citric Acid (safe) — Natural acidulant used for tang and shelf stability; harmless in these amounts.
- CULTURED CELERY POWDER (moderate) — A 'natural' nitrate source used instead of synthetic nitrite for curing; chemically it still delivers nitrates, so it's not truly nitrate-free.
- Dehydrated Garlic (safe) — Real spice for flavor, no downside.
- red pepper (safe) — Real spice, negligible impact.
- black pepper (safe) — A simple spice, no concern.
- CHERRY POWDER (safe) — Natural antioxidant/flavor from dried cherries; helps stabilize the meat.
- Coriander (safe) — Real spice, negligible impact.
- ONION POWDER (safe) — Dried seasoning, harmless.
- white pepper (safe) — Real spice.
- Ground Nutmeg (safe) — Real spice, negligible impact.
- parsley (safe) — Real herb, negligible impact.
- Colored Beef Collagen Casing (moderate) — Edible collagen casing with added coloring; the color is cosmetic but keeps this from being a fully pristine list.
