Jack Link’s® Launches 3-Ingredient Line of Beef Sticks, Steaks and Slices as Part of New Clean Ingredient Portfolio

As consumers seek cleaner, simpler foods, Jack Link’s launches a new real meat protein  platform featuring the first full line of 3-ingredient, grass-fed and finished beef snacks. 

Jack Link’s, the company that created the modern  meat snack category, today announced the launch of its newest lineup: a full portfolio  of sticks, steaks and air-dried beef slices with just three simple ingredients.

This innovation isn’t just unprecedented, it proves that Jack Link’s scale,  infrastructure, and capabilities are in a league no other brand can touch. It calls out  the thousands of “clean” products cluttering shelves today, where a quick flip to the  ingredient panel reveals a list longer than a store receipt. This new line? Three  ingredients. All simple enough to print proudly on the front of the pack. And with more  than 20 facilities across nearly 10 countries and a team of thousands perfecting this  craft for 40 years, Jack Link’s is the only company capable of delivering this level of  simplicity at a scale the industry has never seen.

First to hit shelves nationwide this spring will be 2-ounce bags of 3-ingredient  air-dried beef slices in Original and Hickory. Each bag delivers 31 grams of protein  and will be available across c-store, grocery and other retailers. These slices will also  expand in other sizes and multipacks across the nation later in 2026. Also in 2026, Jack Link’s will roll out 3-ingredient sticks and steaks, which will rewrite the  category’s playbook for what easily accessible, clean and portable protein really  means.

But this isn’t the only innovation across Jack Link’s Better-For You-portfolio, later this  year, the snack legend will debut antibiotic-free turkey and chicken sticks, turkey  jerky, and a range of zero-sugar, 100% grass-fed beef jerky, steaks, and sticks,  available early in 2027.

“Building a 3-ingredient meat snack at scale doesn’t happen by accident. It takes  serious infrastructure, discipline, and decades of category expertise,” said Troy Link,  CEO of Link Snacks. “A lot of brands talk ‘clean,’ but their labels tell a different story.  Jack Link’s is uniquely positioned to deliver honest, simple, minimal-ingredient  products to consumers who demand real transparency.”

“Consumers are clearly shifting toward simpler nutrition and more transparency,” said  Heidi Skolnik, MS, CDN, FACSM, and New York Times best-selling author. “They’re  looking for clean-label foods that offer real, functional benefits. Jack Link’s is making  it easier for people to get high-quality protein throughout the day which helps  manage appetite and naturally provides essential nutrients like amino acids, creatine,  and other important vitamins that support our muscles and immune health.”
