HFM Farm Southern Teriyaki Beef Jerky
HFM Farm Southern Teriyaki Beef Jerky
Southern Teriyaki is teriyaki and hickory smoke over 100% beef, with no heat in it. An ounce carries 12 g of protein at 70 calories, so a 2 oz bag runs 24 g of protein for 140 calories. It's labeled gluten free.
At 220 mg of sodium per ounce it's the lowest-sodium flavor HFM Farm makes — less than half of Monty's Original and roughly a third of Spicy Teriyaki. The teriyaki sauce brings 2 g of sugar, so it's mildly sweet rather than sugary, and the liquid hickory smoke gives it the campfire note that the other no-heat flavors don't have. Sweet-savory and easy to eat by the handful.
MSG is on the ingredient list, and the sauce contains soy, which the panel declares. Sealed, it's shelf-stable — refrigerate once opened and finish within 7 days. Single 2 oz bag or a 3-pack at 6 oz total, $3.98 under three singles. Made in small batches by Joey and Brandi Federico in Jacksonville, Florida.

Is this the same as Spicy Teriyaki?
Same teriyaki idea, very different bag. Spicy Teriyaki adds cayenne, red pepper flake, and chili powder, and runs far saltier — 610 mg of sodium per ounce against 220 mg here. This one has no heat.
Is it gluten free?
The package is labeled gluten free. It does contain soy.
Which flavor has the least sodium?
This one, at 220 mg per ounce (10% DV). For comparison: OG-A1 is 280 mg, Southern Sweet 270 mg, Monty's Original 480 mg, Spicy Teriyaki 610 mg.
Does it contain MSG?
Yes. Monosodium glutamate is listed as its own ingredient. The teriyaki sauce also contains yeast extract and hydrolyzed proteins, which carry glutamates of their own.
What are the allergens?
The panel declares soy — from the soy sauce and soy lecithin in the teriyaki. Sodium benzoate is present as a preservative inside the sauce.
Does it need to be refrigerated?
Not sealed — shelf-stable and fine in a hot vehicle. Once open, refrigerate and eat within 7 days. Use it by the date printed on the package.
Is the 3-pack cheaper?
Yes. $19.99 for 6 oz against $23.97 for three singles — $3.98 saved.
