Nutrition Info

WHERE CAN I FIND YOUR NUTRITIONAL INFO?

Nutritional information can always be found on the back of each product package. For products sold on JackLinks.com, you can find nutritional information on our Nutrition Facts page. If the product you’re looking for is not shown on our site, feel free to contact us. We’ll be happy to help you.

ARE YOUR PRODUCTS GLUTEN-FREE?

All of the products that are gluten-free are clearly marked with a designation on the package. Our products labeled as “gluten-free” undergo ingredient review , special production procedures and safeguards to ensure compliance. 

IS THERE MSG IN YOUR PRODUCTS?

MSG is a flavor enhancer that is used in some products to give them a more savory, mouth-watering flavor. All of our products that contain monosodium glutamate (MSG) are clearly labeled, as required by law. MSG is not allowed to be listed under “flavorings” or “spices” so it will always be clearly listed as “monosodium glutamate” on the label.

WHAT DOES NO ADDED MSG Mean?

Many products claim “no added MSG” due to the consumer demand for products without MSG.  This claim means that we have not added MSG into the food.  It is important to remember that there may be naturally occurring glutamates in the food even if it has a “no added MSG” claim.  If that is the case, the claim is followed by the list of ingredients that are a natural source of glutamates.

ARE THERE NITRITES IN YOUR PRODUCTS?

We acknowledge consumer preferences for no artificial sources of nitrites, such as sodium nitrite, and have spent the last decade replacing them with natural forms such as celery juice. Nitrites and their natural plant-based alternatives are added for several reasons. They help with flavor development and color retention when added to cured meats. But, the most important reason is food safety. Nitrites are an effective component in preventing the growth of bacteria that cause food borne illnesses. 

WHAT ALLERGENS ARE LABELED ON THE PACKAGE?

Our products are labeled in compliance with government regulations. We recognize the nine major allergens – eggs, fish, crustacean/shellfish, milk, peanuts, soy, tree nuts, wheat, and sesame – and they will be listed in the ingredient statement found on the package label. The best way to obtain allergen information is to check the ingredient statement on the package before consuming the product.
