Let’s talk about Field Trip’s Original Beef Jerky. First off, the ingredients list is a dream—grass-fed beef, no preservatives, MSG, or corn syrup. As someone who scrutinizes labels, this checks all my ‘clean snack’ boxes.

The flavor? Absolutely fabulous. It’s savory with just the right chew—not too tough, not mushy. I’ve tried dozens of brands (jerky obsession, guilty as charged), and this one stands out. Even my picky kids stole half my stash!

But here’s the downside: the portion inconsistency. Some bags are packed with thick slices; others feel like a sad crumb collection at the bottom. For the price ($$), I expect uniformity. Also, it’s pricier than gas-station jerky—but then again, you’re paying for quality.

Verdict: If you value taste and clean ingredients over quantity-per-dollar, this is your holy grail. Just pray your next carton has evenly filled bags!
