About the Brand Twenty years ago in a garage near Fresno, Calif., an innovative beverage executive had an idea that meat snacks should offer more than the consistency and taste of shoe leather. Jim Rekoutis knew that jerky could be flavorful, moist, and chewy, a natural product made with ingredients that were healthy. At the time, processors were turning to poultry products to entice people into consuming lower amounts of fat in their diets. "So, I thought, why not turkey jerky?" After more than a year of experimentation, a flavor trial, taste tests, and production problems, the first original flavor of turkey jerky without preservatives was ready for production. In 1982, SnackMasters opened its doors with the world's first turkey jerky. Ceres, Calif., near the turkey capital of the world, is home for SnackMasters. They take advantage of the locally abundant turkey to buy tons of it per month. Along with tons of beef and fish, SnackMasters makes a lot of jerky. "However, here at SnackMasters we sacrifice high yield for high quality," says Rekoutis. SnackMasters yields less than other processors because they prefer processing without water or preservatives. "By using just the right blend of sauces and spices, our jerky is better tasting, better chewing, healthier, and longer lasting than our competition. We produce what our customers demand," he says. SnackMasters uses all-natural beef and free-range turkey, marinated in a mix of ingredients made in fresh batches each morning. No water is added. There are also no artificial colors, flavors, enhancers, or ingredients in their products. Plus, all phases of the processing procedure are considered handmade. "SnackMasters is truly not a mass production-machined product," says Rekoutis.

The world's best beef / turkey jerky.
I'm finally at a point in my life where I know what I like, and I won't eat what I don't consider "the best". Life's too short to waste your money on poor quality or taste. Snackmasters is easily the best tasting and best made beef jerky. On the planet. Period. I won't eat any other jerky.... to the point of being forced online as it is no longer in Whole Foods. Not sure what happened, but don't waste your time on other brands. This is the only one for me. =)

Not for me
I had high hope for this Jerky especially with all the good reviews and the all natural. I really hate sweet Jerky and every brand I try is sweet and loaded with chemicals. So, this sounded like it would fit the bill. However, this had a taste all it's own and it was not pleasant in any way. Back to the drawing board.

good flavor-too dry
I ordered this product for the natural ingredients. I also ordered a different brand-Krave. This jerkey has a great fresh flavor but it is too dry. I can't chew this long! I would Not give this to my young children. Nice flavor, horrible texture.

The BEST Jerky
My fiancee and I have been missing this product since they discontinued it at Trader Joe's. I could not be happier to find it here. It is the best-tasting, best texture beef jerky on the market. And it doesn't have any ingredients you can't pronounce. The best.

Best beef jerky on the market. I've been buying snackmasters brand since it was being sold at Costco and I've never been disappointed. Always fresh and healthy snack.
