Chomps Original Grass-Fed Beef Sticks, 1.15 oz (10-pack) — MUNCH

Munch or Dump rates Chomps Original Grass-Fed Beef Sticks, 1.15 oz (10-pack) by CHOMPS MUNCH — score 88/90.

Chomps starts with grass-fed, grass-finished beef and keeps the extras minimal: sea salt, real spices, and celery powder for natural curing. No added sugar, no fillers, no synthetic nitrites or MSG. The one genuine watch-out is sodium, roughly 240mg per stick, and the 'uncured' label, which still relies on nitrate from celery.

Why this verdict

• Whole grass-fed and grass-finished beef is the first and dominant ingredient.
• No added sugar, fillers, MSG, or synthetic preservatives, a genuinely clean meat snack.
• Cured naturally with celery powder rather than synthetic sodium nitrite.
• Main caveat is sodium, about 240mg per stick, which adds up across a pack.

Ingredients (8)

• Grass-fed and finished beef (safe) — Whole-muscle protein and the dominant ingredient, grass-fed and finished.
• Water (safe) — Used as a basic ingredient in bread.
• Encapsulated lactic acid (moderate) — Acidifier that aids safety and shelf stability; a processing aid rather than a whole food.
• Sea Salt (moderate) — Sodium source; no nutritional edge over regular salt.
• CULTURED CELERY POWDER (caution) — A natural nitrite source used to cure the meat; the same nitrites found in conventionally cured meats despite the clean-label framing.
• CHERRY POWDER (safe) — Natural antioxidant that works with the celery cure.
• Spices (black pepper, red pepper, garlic, coriander) (safe) — Real spices for flavor, nothing artificial.
• Beef collagen casing (safe) — Edible collagen casing; a standard, benign meat-snack component.
