Jack Link's 3-ingredient air-dried beef slices
Meat snack brand Jack Link's is launching its newest lineup: a full portfolio of sticks, steaks, and air-dried beef slices with three ingredients.
First to hit shelves nationwide spring 2026 will be 2‑oz bags of three‑ingredient air‑dried beef slices in Original and Hickory. Each bag delivers 31 g of protein and will be available across c‑store, grocery, and other retailers. These slices will also expand in other sizes and multipacks across the nation later in 2026. Also in 2026, the brand will roll out three‑ingredient sticks and steaks.
Later this year, Jack Link's will debut antibiotic‑free turkey and chicken sticks, plus turkey jerky. Plus, in early 2027, the brand will launch a range of zero‑sugar, grass-fed beef jerky, steaks, and sticks.
"Building a 3‑ingredient meat snack at scale doesn't happen by accident. It takes serious infrastructure, discipline, and decades of category expertise," says Troy Link, CEO of Link Snacks. "A lot of brands talk 'clean,' but their labels tell a different story. Jack Link's is uniquely positioned to deliver honest, simple, minimal‑ingredient products to consumers who demand real transparency."
"Consumers are clearly shifting toward simpler nutrition and more transparency," says Heidi Skolnik, MS, CDN, FACSM, and New York Times best‑selling author. "They're looking for clean‑label foods that offer real, functional benefits. Jack Link's is making it easier for people to get high‑quality protein throughout the day which helps manage appetite and naturally provides essential nutrients like amino acids, creatine, and other important vitamins that support our muscles and immune health."
