What is organic beef jerky?

Organic beef jerky is one of the healthiest options for a tasty, any-time snack. It is easy to store and does not go bad easily as it is resistant to bacteria-related contamination.

How does organic beef jerky differ from regular jerky?

While regular jerky is made from regular beef, organic beef jerky is made from high-grade organic beef. Organic beef comes from cattle that are fed only natural foods, such as grains and grasses. Additionally, the cattle that are used to make organic beef are not given any growth hormones or antibiotics.

In fact, there are various stringent criteria that must be met in order for beef to be certified as ‘organic’. Normally, the standards used to differentiate organic beef from other kinds of beef are:

• Organic beef must be procured from cattle that are born and raised on a farm that has a certified organic pasture.

• Organic beef must be procured from cattle that have not been administered with antibiotic medication.

• Organic beef must be procured from cattle that have not received any form of growth hormones or growth hormone-related products.

• Organic beef must be procured from cattle that have been fed using only organic grains and grasses.

• Organic beef must be procured from cattle that have unrestricted outdoor access.

• Organic beef must be procured from a facility that upholds standards pertaining to the ethical treatment of animals.
So there you have it! Now you are aware of the time and effort that goes into ensuring that a product is certified ‘organic’. Perhaps this has given you an insight into why organic products often cost more then their non-organic counterparts. Ensure that brands that advertise themselves as ‘natural or semi-organic’ do not fool you. Make sure you read the labelling fully in order to determine whether a product is in fact, organic.
