Alpha Smoke Original Hickory Beef Jerky – 6 oz

About the Company & This Jerky

Wild Bites Jerky is Brycen Prout’s beef jerky brand, identified on its packaging with Roy, Utah. Its story began with jerky made for personal enjoyment and shared at family gatherings, where encouragement helped turn the project into a business. Prout brought the brand to Kickstarter in 2025 with a campaign based in nearby Ogden, Utah; an exact founding year has not been verified. The company’s story emphasizes distinctive flavors, sharing good food and growing through the support of family, friends and early customers.

Alpha Smoke is the original hickory flavor in the lineup. The maker describes a smoky, rich taste, while the photographed ingredients include liquid smoke, brown sugar, garlic, onion and peppers. “Hickory” describes the flavor presentation; the reviewed evidence does not establish a particular hardwood-smoking process, smoking duration or manufacturing method.

Ingredients & Allergens

The photographed back-of-bag panel lists: Beef rounds, soy sauce (water, wheat, soybeans, salt), Worcestershire sauce (distilled white vinegar, molasses, sugar, water, salt, onions, anchovies, garlic cloves, tamarind extract, natural flavorings, chili pepper extract), liquid smoke (water, natural smoke flavor), brown sugar, garlic, onion, black pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika.

The separate flat label artwork differs from the photographed bag, including tamari in place of wheat-containing soy sauce. The current formula and finished-product label must be confirmed. Fish from anchovies, soy and wheat appear in the package evidence; no gluten-free or allergen-free claim is made.

Package evidence includes fish (anchovies), soy and wheat. Several flat label graphics instead show tamari without wheat; current formula and final allergen statement are unresolved. No gluten-free or allergen-free claim. Cross-contact information was not verified.

Storage & Handling

Verified shelf life, unopened storage temperature and after-opening storage instructions were not found in the reviewed product text or readable package panels.
