Meat snacks are flavorful but loaded with sodium. Ever wondered about the secret behind clean, gut-friendly meat snacks that defy the norm?  

Jason Burke shares the story of his brands, Noble Made and The New Primal. He talks about the tricky parts of creating grass-fed meat snacks at The New Primal that are not just delicious but gut-friendly. He also explains why using grass-fed beef is a big deal, especially for kids who can't get enough of them. Jason delves into Noble Made's sauces, from no-sugar ketchup to rich barbeque sauce made from quality ingredients. From the decision to eliminate harsh preservatives like sodium nitrite to the process of replacing sugar with healthier alternatives, Jason is committed to offering consumers a healthier and tastier choice.

In this episode, Jason talks to Jen about the story behind both of his brands, the challenges of crafting clean, gut-friendly meat snacks, and the craft of replacing traditional ingredients with healthier alternatives.
