From the Manufacturer

Jim Davis, the founder of Wild Ride beef jerky, grew up as a fourth-generation Texas cattle rancher, in a community where beef jerky was a part of everyday life. Each family made its own beef jerky from carefully guarded family recipes. Every year there was a jerky tasting contest, where families competed for the glory of making the best Texas jerky. To win was considered the highest honor a person could receive.

As Jim grew older, he found that there was not a jerky on the market like the tender, delicious beef jerky he remembered from his youth. So, determined to make beef jerky the way it was meant to be, he created Wild Ride beef jerky.

To create the perfect beef jerky Jim followed these five basic guidelines that inspired Wild Ride:
Make it flavorful
Make it tender
Make it tasty
Make it from natural ingredients with no chemical additives
Make it low-fat while keeping the flavor and tenderness

Wild Ride is made with all-natural ingredients with no preservatives, no MSG, and no nitrites. But the tenderness that is unique to only Wild Ride comes from the patented tenderization process that can only be found in Wild Ride beef jerky.

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT natural - ingredient list NOT accurate, December 5, 2010

This review is from: Wild Ride Beef Jerky, Hoppin' Hickory, Hormone & Antibiotic Free, 4-Ounces (Pack of 6) (Grocery)

I was very excited to find a natural beef jerky without any wheat in the ingredient list! HOWEVER, once we actually got it and read the (very long) ingredient list, we were very disappointed.

Here's what the manufacturer listed as ingredients:
Ingredients:
Beef, Lite Salt (Salt, Potassium Chloride), Chilies, Brown Sugar, Sugar, Black Pepper, Garlic, Citric Acid and Cornstarch.

Here's the actual ingredient list from the Hoppin' Hickory flavor:
Ingredients:
Beef, water, corn syrup, sugar, salt, soy sauce powder (naturally fermented soy beans, wheat, salt, maltodextrin), worcestershire sauce powder, corn syrup solids, salt, caramel color, garlic powder, sugar, spices, soy sauce solids, naturally fermented wheat and soybeans, salt, maltodextrin, caramel color), palm oil, tamarind, natural flavor, citric acid, garlic powder, onion powder, spice.

Not the worst ist in the world, but since we have wheat allergies, we can't actually eat the product. We're also trying to avoid corn syrup. I realize it takes a while to type out all of the lable ingredient lists, but since these are non-returnable items and will be ingested, it is the manufacurers responisbility to inform customers accurately regarding what is actually in the product.

Another reviewer mentioned that a product had sucralose in it...some folks get very sick from these ingredients. It's my responsibility to read the package and double check prior to actually eating someting (which I did) - but it's disappointing, expensive, and a hassle to get something other than what I've ordered.

My appreciation to Amazon for refunding my purchase because of the inaccurate info on the web site.

I was really upset about the flavor of this product. I bought two cases, spent more than $40 and the only person in my house who will eat it is the dog. I had higher expectations for both the texture and the overall flavor- we bought hot and spicy and BBQ varieties; despite the added flavoring, it was pretty bland. The texture was practically dusty- not chewy as I like my jerky.

This review is from: Wild Ride Beef Jerky, Gallopin' Pepper, Hormone & Antibiotic Free, 4-Ounce Bags (Pack of 6) (Grocery)

If you're looking for a beef jerky you can (and will) feed your dog, look no further. With no discernable taste and a texture that resembles Beggin' Strips at twice the price, Wild Ride Gallopin' Pepper Beef Jerky for Dogs is an all-natural choice.

The meat is weirdly soft and completely tasteless. Not salty, nor peppery, nor meaty. I took one bite and immediately spit it in the trash. And 5 out of 5 friends agree: It's garbage. To add insult to injury, one of the bags was ripped down the middle. So it was *actually* garbage.

These bags of "beef jerky" have utterly offended me. Heed my warning and stay away.
