These appetizing snack sticks contain no MSG and are the ultimate blend of convenience and flavor, perfect for men, women, and kids on-the-go looking to give their taste buds a healthy treat
At Old Wisconsin, we craft the finest sausages because we pick only the most premium cuts of beef, pork and turkey. Next we use the perfect recipe of spices passed down by generations of sausage makers. These spices complement our meats, ensuring that they enhance the natural flavors while never overpowering them. We use no binders, fillers or extenders—just enormous care to ensure that our sausages are always mouthwateringly delicious. We hand craft our meats into a variety of shapes and sizes before we begin the smoking process. We smoke all of our meats slowly over real hardwood fires in our traditional pit style smokehouse to ensure natural flavor. We leave them hanging for as long as it takes until we're satisfied with the flavor. After we smoke our meats, we pack them immediately to seal in the freshness and flavor. Quality control procedures are in place at every step of the process, and goods are stored under optimal temperatures to maintain freshness and quality. But our products rarely sit around. We ship to retailers all across the country, allowing everyone to experience the true taste of Wisconsin.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a safe, ready-to-eat protein I can pack in my child's lunchbox?
Yes. The sticks are fully cooked and ready to eat with no prep required, and the firm stick shape is easy for older kids to handle at lunch or snack time.
Does the resealable bag help me manage portions for multiple kids?
Yes. The resealable format lets you pour out a serving and zip the rest back up, which keeps the remaining sticks fresh for the next school day or after-school snack.
Are these sticks gluten free and free of MSG for kids with sensitivities?
Yes. They are labeled gluten free and contain no MSG, fillers, or binders, which is reassuring for parents navigating food sensitivities.
Can I keep them in the car for after-school pickups and practices?
Yes. The sticks do not require refrigeration until the bag is opened, so tossing them in a car cup holder or commuter bag for the school run is a common use case.
Will the firm, chewy texture appeal to picky eaters?
Many kids enjoy the smoky, sausage-stick flavor and the fun, easy-to-hold shape. Because they are not overly chewy like some jerkies, younger kids tend to manage them well.
Is this a smarter snack than chips or cheese crackers for my kid?
Compared to typical chip or cracker packs, you get 4 g of protein per stick with far less sugar and no empty-carb overload, which helps kids stay full and focused longer.
How does this compare to standard pepperoni or salami sticks for lunchboxes?
Unlike many pepperoni sticks that are high in sugar and contain fillers, these have a short, recognizable ingredient list and are naturally hardwood-smoked for a richer, less processed taste.
Is the sodium content a concern for kids?
Like most cured sausage snacks, the sticks contain sodium. For a school-day portion of one stick, the level is generally moderate, but parents tracking sodium should review the nutrition panel for their family.
Will the smoky flavor be too strong for a child who is sensitive to bold tastes?
The flavor is smoky and savory rather than spicy, so most kids adjust to it quickly. You can start with one stick to test tolerance before stocking up.
How should I store the snack sticks after opening the bag?
After opening, reseal the bag tightly and store it in the refrigerator to keep the sticks fresh for multiple days. Unopened bags can be stored in a cool, dry pantry.
Are these sticks fully cooked, or do they need to be heated before eating?
They are fully cooked and ready to eat straight from the package. You can enjoy them cold at room temperature or warm them briefly if you prefer.
What is the best way to serve these on a snack or charcuterie board?
Slice them into coins on a bias, or lay whole sticks alongside cheeses, crackers, olives, and mustards. The firm shape holds up well under other board items without getting soggy.
Do these sticks fit inside a standard lunchbox, thermos, or cooler compartment?
Yes. The 14 oz and 26 oz bags and individual stick sizes are designed to fit in lunchboxes, backpack side pockets, and standard cooler compartments without taking up excessive space.
Are these compatible with keto, paleo, low-carb, and gluten-free diets?
Yes. The sticks are labeled to fit keto, paleo, low-carb, and gluten-free eating patterns, which is why they are popular across multiple restrictive diets.
What comes in the package when I order, and do I need to buy anything else?
You receive a sealed 26 oz or 14 oz resealable bag of naturally smoked beef sausage sticks in your chosen pack size. No additional items are required to enjoy them.
Are there any allergens I should be aware of?
The sticks are gluten free and contain no MSG, but they are made with beef and standard curing ingredients. Always review the ingredient list and nutrition panel on the package if you have specific allergy concerns.
How long is the shelf life, and can I stock up without them expiring?
The sticks are shelf-stable until the bag is opened, so you can comfortably stock up on the pack of 2 or pack of 10 for pantry, office, or trip use. Check the printed date on your bag for the exact window.
What is the difference between a beef snack stick and a beef jerky?
Beef snack sticks are a cured, smoked sausage-style product with a firm, dense texture, while beef jerky is typically sliced, marinated, and dried. Snack sticks tend to be more filling, and this version is naturally hardwood-smoked in a traditional pit smokehouse for a richer flavor.
