Taste great easy to grab on the go

After school snacks for kids. not sure how they taste, but kids love them and they are individually wrapped so no spoilage or shared germs.

High quality, not over seasoned

As a mother of a teenage in high school sports always looking for healthy protein snack to keep them going. Far better quality meats and ingredients compared to other meat stick snacks.

I've been enjoying the Original variety of Vermont Smoke & Cure's meat sticks since I first bought them at a local health food store, Nature's Pantry, several years ago. The sticks are a little pricier there, as you'd expect, and while I'm happy to pay brick-and-mortar prices for many things--I make a point of shopping in actual stores because I want them to thrive--when it comes to something like this, which I eat a lot of, I'm glad that I can buy it in bulk on Amazon and VS&C's own website, as a single order and via subscription. My online orders of this product date back to 2015, and the quality has been consistently excellent. The sticks are juicy, chewy, satisfying, and come in convenient sizes. The Original variety is spiced just right; it's flavorful but tastes mild and clean. There are just 11 ingredients on the label (12 if you include the collagen casing), and I know what each one of them is and does. I find the half-ounce, Mini size easier to carry around than the longer, 1 oz sticks, but I buy both. If I'm running out of the house without breakfast, I can drop a couple of the Minis in my bag and then chomp on them for energy. They're great as a snack too and can satisfy a meat craving. With equal amounts of fat and protein and zero carbs, they fit both keto and paleo diets. And knowing VS&C's commitment to using humanely raised meats and ingredients from local businesses, I feel great about buying from the company. I don't eat sugars--this really is what's inside the candy jar in my home office, where I spend most of my indoor time.

I generally love these sticks so buying in bulk makes sense. However the last box I received had some sticks where the coloring and flavor were off. This is a first. So just make sure you look at the stick colors before you just put them away. Price is good. Not sure if I will order again.

Perfect size to toss in my purse to take with me for a quick and yummy snack! Best of all, they are easy to open... no scrambling to find a scissors to "just get it started".

These are pretty good. I've bought the 48 CT and 96 CT now and both were good quality with no bad ones. The 96 CT just came in a giant box so I counted them and there was actually 103 in the box. I bought these as an alternative to the weight watchers pepperoni sticks as they have the same points. They taste exactly the same but they are slightly harder than the ww ones, so not the same manufacturer as I'd hoped but close enough for me. Overall a great low fat snack and will keep buying.
