FAQs

When you're comparing Gymrat Jerky to the rest, there's two things you should look at: the protein content and the ingredients list.

Check the protein on an average supermarket beef jerky: 35.7 grams per 100g.

Now check out the back of a bag of Smoky BBQ Gymrat Jerky: 56.4 grams per 100g!

With all this protein, you're massively boosting your chances of building muscle, crushing hunger and getting more jacked.

Now, let's check ingredients.

Because it's one thing to just cram in protein by any means necessary: but the best part about us is that we also help you do it 100% clean!

Average Supermarket Jerky: Beef, Sugar, Salt, Maltodextrin (from Corn), Soy Sauce Powder, Spices (Ground Coriander, White Pepper, Ginger Powder, Nutmeg), Canola Oil, Yeast Extract, Celery Powder, Cherry powder, Garlic Powder, Acidity Regulator (Sodium Citrates), Plum Powder, Smoke Condensate.

Smoky BBQ Gymrat Jerky: Beef, Sea Salt, Garlic Powder, Ground Coriander, Smoked Paprika, Pepper.

Steak, salt, and spices: that's it. No need for seed oils, added sugar, or artificial preservatives: just damn good protein.

And don't even get us STARTED on the average protein bar: with artificial ingredients better suited to a tin of paint than something you eat when you need protein on the go, I think we both know what the better option is...

Not quite - while the fine selection of spices we use in our recipes are 100% plant-based, the beef jerky itself is in fact made out of beef which many do not consider to be vegan.

For all our flavours of Gymrat Jerky, we use lean cuts of 100% Australian premium beef.

Given Australia's very high standards for cattle welfare, our beef is indeed grass-fed, but due to fluctuations in supply, we can't guarantee that all our beef is grass-finished.

The average Australian cow spends 85-90% of their lives eating grass before finishing on a grain-based diet. This diet mainly consists of all-natural feed such as barley, wheat and sorghum. This "finishing diet" is consumed for roughly the last 50-120 days before a cow is slaughtered.

The majority of the beef we use is finished in this way. While some of our beef comes from cows both grass-fed and grass-finished, we wouldn't feel right about guaranteeing this for every bite of jerky.

But rest assured: Aussie cows are extremely healthy, ensuring that every piece of Gymrat Jerky you get is both nutritious AND delicious!

Gymrat Jerky is made with 100% Halal-certified beef, however please note that our facility is not currently Halal certified due to the costs associated with doing this process formally.

Yep - zero gluten.

Absolutely! A whole bag of Smoky BBQ Gymrat Jerky contains roughly 2 grams of carbs.

Nope - and the same goes for soy, added sugar and artificial preservatives. All our flavours are, and always will be, 100% free of any of these!

The average bag of beef jerky is marked with a Best Before date 6 months after production.

It's best stored in a cool, dark place (like a pantry), and be preserved better in a fridge or freezer.

Once opened, we recommend you eat the whole bag within about 3 days. But don't worry, we don't even think you'll want to wait that long ;)

Oh, and because we don't use artificial preservatives, you won't see us having the ridiculous, multi-year shelf-life of some other products, but we think that's a small price to pay for being 100% real food.
