Mission Meats Beef Sticks – 100% Grass Fed & Pasture Raised, Sugar Free, Individually Wrapped Healthy Snacks, Whole 30 & Paleo Friendly, Original 1oz (Pack of 12)

Juicy beef stick for being no sugar!
I had to find another beef stick as Larrissa’s changed their recipe and wasn’t juicy any more for my taste. this has been the best replacement beef stick. Hopefully they don’t change their recipe for this one.

It helps me to stay healthy
I am fiercely opposed to factory farming. Because, I will not eat misery. For this reason, I’ve been a vegetarian for years. A health condition caused severe blood loss. Doctors asked me to please eat beef for a while, so my body would have greater opportunity to replace the blood that I had lost. I was grateful to find this product. It tastes great. When I eat this, I don’t believe I’m eating misery, and it helps my body heal. Thank you.

Packaging is a challenge.
I have tried several different brands of beef and turkey sticks purchased on Amazon. I generally prefer the beef. I have only tried these Mission Meats beef for the first time less than a week ago. I found the packaging to be my biggest issue. So hard to open that even using scissors to open the top fights with the plastic too.Once I get into them, a half hour later – lol! The taste was fine and lightly flavored, the texture even through the casing was okay. This is my first order comparing to the other ones that are so far my favorites on Amazon. I will probably not order these again because they do not beat out PaleoValley for their beef sticks’ packaging quality among the great flavor and texture. They have turkey too, but I have not tried those from PV.For other brands, I tried:1) The New Primal Beef Stick: Those were pretty good but the packaging is again an issue. I hate it when it takes forever to open them. The taste is mild, texture is soft but not mushy, easy to bite into. Same with the PaleoValley, but Mission and New Primal does not have as good of a smoke flavor as PaleoValley. I MAY order these again or not, after I see what the rest of the sticks are like to open and taste.2) The New Primal Turkey Stick – Cilantro Lime. OMG! These tastes like fresh uncooked turkey with ground up feathers, not much cilantro lime flavor to cover the awful turkey feathers taste! Definitely won’t be buying these again!3) Vermont – Sample Pack; Beef still favorite but pepperoni is pretty good and will not try jalapeño anything. Packaging easy to open. No challenges. Taste is good, medium flavored, not too strong and texture chewy but not greasy. Would order again.4) Lorissa’s kitchen – Original Beef; Easy enough to open, mild flavor, good texture. Still does not beat out PaleoValley. Will most likely not order again.5) Sogo Beef sticks- Not much challenge to open these. They have a good medium spice flavor but seem thinner than other brands. Not greasy. Texture with casing is medium,easy to bite into. Stick is solid but not soft to bite into. They seemed chewier. I may order these again, but they still don’t beat out PV. These ARE grass fed.5) SweetWood- FATTY -Variety Pack and regular original FATTY beef sticks-I like the smoky meatiness of these and the kick the variety had, but I gave the jalapeño one away. No challenge to open these, the flavor is good, texture is chewy with the casing, they are shorter and fatter sticks; They are my second favorite to PV.6) SweetWood – Bully Bars – Original Beef – Good flavor but hard for me to bite into and chew. Medium flavor and very chewy texture. Easy to open package. Probably won’t order again. Does not beat out PV.Lastly, on a positive note about Mission Meats, my package did not have any mold on any sticks, but packaging for customer’s consumption could use better quality control. And there are people out there who have difficulty with their hand mobility.Paleo Valley beef stick, summer sausage stick, and turkey (I presume),make their products so tastey and with this in mind.

Good
Like is very good good flavor

Tastes expired upon arrival and cannot read expiry date on packaging. Will not buy again and will look to return all.
