Old Trapper Zero Sugar Beef Jerky

It's surprising how high in carbs and sugar most snacks are. Old Trapper's newest jerky has no sugar, just 2 grams of carbohydrates, 0.5 grams of fat, and 14 grams of protein per one ounce serving, making it a great snack for those who adhere to low-sugar and low-carb diets. And, trust us, you'll never miss what's not there.
