Old Trapper Beef Jerky, Peppered 8 Ounce Pack, Spicy Meat Snacks for Lunches or Between Meals, 11 Grams of Protein, Zero Grams of Fat, and 70 Calories per Serving (Pack of One)

It's a little on the peppery side, but I love the flavor and texture so much that I just don't care. Like any beef jerky, I'll occasionally come across a tough piece, but for the most part, it's all tender and easy to chew. Fantastic for long car rides where I need protein and something to munch on.

I’ve tried multiple brands around the same price range and this is one of the best, most consistent jerky brands I’ve found. Regular, Pepper and this Teriyaki version has all been great. Good flavor, all pieces nice and tender and usually last a long time too. This is my go to brand for decently priced jerky now.

Old Trapper Beef Jerky has quickly become a favorite in our household. I’ve tried the Old Fashioned (my personal fav), Teriyaki, Peppered, and Hot & Spicy flavors, and every single one has been excellent. The 8 oz bags are generously filled with thick, satisfying strips that have just the right balance of moisture and texture—tender without being too soft. The flavor is consistently bold and well-seasoned, never overwhelming. It’s rare to find a jerky that everyone agrees on, but my whole family is hooked and fully approves. Old Trapper delivers quality and flavor you can count on.

The beef is good quality. The smokiness is great. However, I find it both too sweet and too salty. If they turned both down about 50% this would be perfect.

I tried the Old Trapper Zero Sugar Beef Jerky (8 oz, Natural Wood Smoked) and it’s surprisingly delicious. The jerky is tender, flavorful, and smoky, with none of the sugar or extra carbs you often find in other brands. Perfect for keto snacks, on-the-go munching, or a protein boost anytime. The individual package is convenient, keeps the jerky fresh, and the portion size is just right for a satisfying snack.

The texture is great and they are easy to chew and they taste great. No sugar so they are KETO friendly. Best beef jerky that I have found.

Let me start with the cons. This is very salty. If you eat it as a snack, you'll need a tall glass of water or another beverage. Alternatively, you can put it in a mug, pour water over it, and fish out the pieces to eat, and then heat the water and drink it as a broth. Or use it to cook with, and use less salt in the recipe. Another downside is that it has sodium nitrite as preservative. I think fear of small amounts of preservatives is irrational, but I also know that for some people, it's a dealbreaker. For me, the presence of preservatives is a plus. In the past, I've had "preservative-free" jerky go moldy on me. Maybe it's just the area I live in, high humidity in the air. I had to store that jerky in the freezer. But this at least lasts long enough for me to be able to eat it! Another pro is that it's high in protein. By weight, it's straight up 50% protein, and by calories, it's 80% protein! It's very low in saturated fat. As long as you don't have an undue fear of preservatives or red meat, this can fit into most diets and help a lot of people meet their health/fitness goals. It's also very low in carbs and has no added sugars, so can fit into low carb and keto diets.

Omg I'm so torn..... I looooove salt..... And the reviews don't lie.... It is very very very salty. Even for me. At first I was really really really happy and excited that the daunting overwhelming typical sweetness of savory jerky was absolutely absent!!! Which I've always yearned and searched for always. Even better? The meat is so meaty and tender not tough and leathery. Beef is beefing! Flavor wise as well. But second piece took a lot more courage to consume and for the very first time ever in life of any salty snack, I thought a bag of this wouldn't be healthy...... 🥺🥺🥺Idk maybe 100 150 mg less sodium?..... This would be thee absolutely PERFECT JERKY! So I plan to freeze it and eat it here and there sparingly. The portion is also very generous for price and quality. Dang it!
