What does “grass-fed” mean for your beef?
For us, grass-fed means that all animals used in our products are fed a forage-only diet for at least 120+ days before harvest. Most of the animals that go into our jerky are actually finished on grass.
We choose to use the term grass-fed rather than switching between “grass-fed” and “grass-finished” to avoid misleading customers. Some animals may finish on natural forages like hay or alfalfa silage, which are still forage-based feeds. Being transparent matters to us, and clarity always comes before marketing claims.

Is your beef grass-finished?
Many of the cattle used in our products are grass-finished, meaning they are finished on pasture. However, because not every animal is finished exclusively on fresh pasture, we label our products as grass-fed to remain accurate and transparent with our customers.
Is Carzan jerky gluten-free?
Yes and no — there is absolutely no gluten in any of our products. All Carzan jerky is made in a gluten-free certified facility.
We are currently working toward full gluten-free certification across every ingredient in our supply chain. While a few individual ingredients (including beef) are still undergoing third-party certification, there are no gluten-containing ingredients used in any Carzan product.
Do you use your own beef?
Carzan started by using 100% beef raised on our own ranch. As the business grew, demand quickly outpaced what our farm alone could supply.
Today, we source grass-fed beef from trusted regenerative ranchers across the Canadian Prairies, including some beef that still comes from our own ranch and returns to us through the same federally inspected packing facility. This allows us to maintain quality, consistency, and values while continuing to grow.
How much protein is in a serving of Carzan jerky?

Is Carzan jerky keto-friendly?

If your daily net carb target is around 24g, you could easily enjoy multiple servings of Carzan jerky while staying on track. Always check individual nutrition labels to choose the best option for your needs.
