We love jerky, but most jerky uses cheap, factory farmed meat and loads of nasty carcinogenic preservatives. Add a stack of sugar (yep, some jerky is 25% sugar!), MSG, and emulsifiers into the mix for good measure too.
Our beef bars use the best meat you can get - 100% organic, grass-fed, grass-finished, regeneratively farmed, Aussie beef (brisket and topside, no cheap mince here!). They're also free from nasty preservatives, relatively low in salt, and low in carbs and sugar. Because these bars are slow dried rather than cooked, they're more tender than your average jerky. They're more like a kofta or a rissole in texture, but being dried they'll last without refrigeration for months which makes them a perfect healthy, high protein snack on the go.
One question we get asked a lot is “but isn't this processed meat?”. It’s important to recognise that every time we cook food we “process” it. A whole food product is defined as “a food that has been processed or refined as little as possible and is free from additives or other artificial substances”. Our products are whole foods, not “processed meats”, because they’re made with high quality meat, with a few herbs and natural ingredients. They’re dried using a traditional process (which is healthier than cooking it at high temperature) without the ingredients found in “processed meats”. It’s not just us saying this, our consulting dieticians and nutritionists agree.

Unlike most jerky, we naturally preserve our beef range just as our ancestors did with no added nitrates or nitrites (carcinogenic preservatives). We also don't use cheap fillers like maltodextrin or hydrolysed vegetable proteins (high in MSG). Most jerky is surprisingly high in sugar (upwards of 25%!) but our products have less sugar than a carrot. And because they're slow dried they're much more tender than jerky and retain over 90% of heat sensitive vitamins such as B12. Better is an understatement.

"Every day, more and more studies confirm that processed food and in particular, processed carbohydrates, are just not good for us. Chief really ticks all the boxes."

"Chief beef bars give me the proteins, nutrients, and energy that I need - while saving me time! I love that these 'protein bars' are made from real food, and the added bonus is that they taste delicious. Highly recommend!"
Penny Benjamin
Nutritionist, Engineer, Educator
"I'm always looking for super easy yet tasty and filling snack and meal options to recommend my clients that are based on real food. Chief Bars deliver on all accounts."
Better for you
Low sugar and made from 100% organic grass-fed Aussie beef which is up to five times higher in healthy omega-3s. Slow dried rather than cooked means they're higher in heat sensitive vitamins like B12.
Packed with nutrients
80g of beef goes into each 40g bar which is slow dried to remove the water weight. This means they're packed full of highly bioavailable protein, minerals and essential vitamins only found in animal products.
No nasty preservatives
We naturally preserve our beef just as our ancestors did, with no added nasties like nitrates or nitrites. They'll last at least 6 months on the shelf without refrigeration thanks to modern packaging.
Better for the planet
We source our beef from farmers following regenerative practices which are a critical part of creating a healthy planet. One study shows 50kg of carbon stored for every 1kg of beef produced in a regenerative system.
Real food, fills you up
Other snacks leave you craving more because they use artificial thickeners, fillers, sweeteners and sugar alcohols, or are too high in sugar. These are made from real food that squashes your hunger.
Better for the animals
Most beef comes from industrial feedlots where animals are kept in confined stalls and fattened with grains. We source our beef from family owned organic farms where cattle forage freely all year round.
Proudly supporting Aussie Farmers
Every product you buy supports Thankful For Farmers, helping farmers be more economically and environmentally sustainable.
Have your steak and eat it too
Most jerky, sausage rolls and meat pies are made from low quality meat. They're also surprisingly high in sugar and other fake crap including carcinogenic preservatives. We've cut the crap.
Taste the difference with organic beef
Each bar contains 80g of organic, grass-fed and finished beef brisket and topside, dried down to a very nutrient dense 40g bar. They're arguably healthier and less processed than meat you'd eat at home because we don't cook it, preserving heat-sensitive vitamins like B12.
