Do your snacks contain MSG, preservatives or hidden ingredients?Updated 15 days ago

Nope. No MSG, no preservatives, no artificial anything. We think that stuff is bulls#&t, which is kind of our whole reason for existing.

Every ingredient in our biltong is something you'd find in your own pantry. Here's the full list for our Classic Biltong:

  • Organic grass fed & finished Australian beef
  • Gluten free white vinegar
  • Sea salt
  • Coriander seeds
  • Black pepper
  • Cloves
  • Cayenne pepper

That's it. The vinegar and salt do the preserving (the old school way... no chemical preservatives needed), and the spices do the flavouring. There's no sugar, dairy, gluten, soy or nuts in any of our biltong.

"But I watched your video and saw ingredients that aren't on the pack!"

Everything we use is listed in the ingredients panel on the back of every bag and on each product page. If something looks unfamiliar in a video, it's one of the spices above doing its thing in the marinade. If you're ever unsure, just ask us, we're an open book.

"What about the exact spice quantities?"

That's the one thing we keep close to our chest. The recipe is our secret sauce (well, secret dry rub). But we can confirm exactly which spices are in each flavour, and they're all listed on the product pages.
