New Primal Classic Beef Sticks, 100% Grass Fed, 5 Count

UPDATED REVIEW / JAN. 16, 2026: New Primal customer service reached out to me and advised that they had been working with some co-manufacturers in 2025, in order to catch-up on orders, which was the cause of the change in texture. These issues have since been resolved, as evidenced by the samples that New Primal sent to me. They are just as delicious as before, and I'm so excited that these will, once again, be a staple in my pantry. Thank you, New Primal! ORIGINAL REVIEW / NOV. 17, 2025: I first started ordering these beef sticks back in Aug 2024 and they remained a staple in our home for nearly a year. I LOVED having a good source of quick and tasty protein at my fingertips. However, when I received my Aug 2025 order, it was immediately apparent that something had changed drastically. The color of the meat inside of the tubing is much lighter than it used to be. The flavor is also much more salty than it used to be. The biggest and worst change of all- the meat is now so soft and 'mushy' that it is difficult to even bite through the outer casing. I am so bummed that these are, essentially, inedible for me at this point. I am not sure what, exactly, changed at the New Primal factory, but I'm so disappointed by it!

Due to my preservative intolerances, I have tried almost every natural-ish jerky product. This is by far the best. Even my husband likes it. We have it on an Amazon subscription.

Very tasty and firm.

Great taste, as a better alternative to the original Slim Jim from the 1980s. For me it has more fat and texture too soft, but if that's what you like, then it worth the purchase. I personally like more meat and a firmer texture.

Delicious, especially as a snack or with a Keto or a protein breakfast. Salty, but if eaten with breakfast no additional salt is necessary..

Loved these until I pulled out a stick COVERED in mold. Obviously quality control is an issue so I don’t trust buying these anymore. Very grossed out.

Best I have ever eaten

My wife has bought the New Primal Buffalo Style Chicken Sticks for years. I bought the Beef Stick because I prefer beef to chicken, but honestly I wasn't really impressed. The beef sticks are pretty soft and fatty tasting. Maybe I am just too accustomed to the chicken sticks instead. But I have bought beef sticks from other brands and they didn't seem so fatty in comparison. I probably would not buy these again.
