The Best Grass-Fed Beef Jerky and Meat Snacks
If you are looking for grass-fed beef jerky and meat snacks, Madeline's carries 100% grass-fed beef sticks and bites from Sogo Snacks plus grass-fed bison sticks from Miller Bison. Every product below is labeled 100% grass-fed (and grass-finished, in Sogo's case) by its maker, and most of the Sogo sticks are also made with no added sugar. These suit high-protein, keto, and paleo snackers who want a clean meat stick for lunchboxes, hiking, and travel.
Grass-fed means the cattle or bison were raised on grass rather than grain. Sogo states its beef is 100% grass-fed and grass-finished, and Miller Bison's snack sticks are made from grass-fed bison. Where a variety pack includes turkey or pork, we note it, since those are not grass-fed beef.

How to choose a grass-fed meat snack
First decide on format: sticks are portioned for a lunchbox or pocket, while the 8 oz bites are better for sharing or snacking from a bowl. Then choose heat, from mild Original to jalapeño and Tex-Mex. If you avoid added sugar, the Sogo lineup is made with no sugar, which is unusual for meat snacks and worth noting if you follow keto or paleo. Bison (from Miller Bison) is leaner and slightly sweeter than beef if you want a change. Variety packs are the easiest entry point if you are not sure which flavor you prefer. Check each label for sodium and exact ingredients if you are tracking them closely.
