Mission Meats Meat Sticks Variety Pack, Zero Sugar, Healthy Snacks, 12ct

I bought this multi pack because I recently was talking with someone in the company and decided to try their offerings. I was encouraged after trying the organic beef stick; good flavor, texture, although size was a little small at 0.75oz. Unfortunately i went to try the Original beef stick--tasted rotten. On closer examination the meat looks dusky compared to some other sticks (see picture). The other Original in the pack had the same look and taste... disgusting. Also discarded. I did look closely at the Cracked Pepper Pork which had some ashen color hues...also hints of rotten meat taste but not as bad. Discarded. The turkey looked OK but was a very gamey and unpleasant flavor. Discarded. The jalapeno beef looked good and was flavorful. All sticks looked sealed properly so I would assume the problems are prepackaging. Bottom line, only 4 out of 12 was edible to me. UPDATE: I have to give credit to Mission Meats. They are about their customers. I had closed the book on this purchase but they messaged me to say that something wasn't right. They gave me the opportunity to get another sampler direct from them. All the included products (Original Organic, Cracked Pepper Pork, Tumeric Beef, Jalapeno Beef, and Kids Original) were excellent tasting and quality. Have updated my review to reflect the excellent customer service and also the quality of their products. As a fan of meat sticks, I will definitely add these as a favorite.

unreal - the various flavors really hit the spot - not a bad one in the group - I will buy these multiple times

I got these during the escalating pandemic days when toilet paper was disappearing etc. I try to keep Keto/ low sugar and was looking for stuff that doesn't need to be refrigerated "just in case". Some of these are good and my guys at home like them. At least one of the sticks (turkey one??) tastes edible but really not great the other ones are "good". I ended up with subscribe and save and don't know if the price snuck up or not, but with a recent delivery of these "not that great and quite expensive" batch I had enough and cancelled. Mind you I already got it about 4 times. Meh. Maybe good to have around for camping - or snacks for hiking. I'm torn between 3 and 4 stars.

Use organic celery and I'll buy a few hundred of your products!! Non-organic celery -grown with fertilizers- Do have nitrates, per several health and food websites. I don't want to bash this company, or list all the (reputable) websites... Just advising to read about marketing mindsets, such as "...but it's true; consumers just have little reading comprehension skills" toward unsuspecting "No Added Nitrates". I was unable to find comparable data regarding amount of synthetic nitrates versus celery with naturally occurring nitrates. Celery must be grown organically - without nitrogen fertilizers. I enjoyed my order so far, yet I'm considering disposing of the rest. ***These products are *Not too spicy and *Not too peppery, *Not too chewy/hard***, and I never liked these type of products until now. Although it is a great concept, great flavors, you'll get more consumers if you incorporate "Organic celery which has NO naturally occuring nitrates". For those who consume all the other brands of jerky, try these; I liked them much better, including the pork (with CrunchMaster small seed crackers at grocery or Amazon. ) ----Dec2023

These taste amazing! My husband is on the AIP diet due to medical reasons and we are always looking for approved snacks for him that actually have flavor. These are so good! He was super excited. I purchased for Father’s Day, the packaging was fine, just in a standard small box, nothing fancy. They are a little on the expensive side, however, they are quality product, without all the added junk of other beef snacks so I feel it’s still worth it!

They taste different, are tenderer than name brands. For me they were a little salty, but I never have liked salty unless it's french fries so take that with a grain of salt pun intended. But I did like them.

I bought variety pack, turkey is horrible, then tried pork…one bite & something looked odd in the center meat, wet sticky stick sour like spoiled, next tried Jalapeno pepper….actually ate stick, only one edible out of the 4 flavors, mot sure if the spices masked bad taste or spices prevented spoiling, originsl was horrible too……3 cats will not eat even a tiny piece, yet when I buy “Chomps” they all want bites….I doubt these are what is advertised….came in a odd plastic bag that looked like a shirt or something else was in bag prior & in their kitchen they tossed them in an excess piece of plastic. I checked the dates on sticks thinking must be spoiled, but still had a few months to go. Zero return policy, bad business, bad food…buy “Chomps….they are amazing beef keto sticks, unlike this garbage.

Tastes like chicken! Great products. Hopefully they keep the price real.
