Jack Link’s is a family-owned meat snack brand originating from the Northwoods of Wisconsin, USA, with roots dating back to the 1880s. The foundation of the brand began when family ancestor Chris Link immigrated to America, bringing traditional sausage and smoked meat recipes with him. After generations of craftsmanship and dedication, Jack Link officially expanded the brand nationwide in 1985, introducing beef jerky made from the family’s century-old recipes and transforming the American meat snack industry.
The brand’s core philosophy is built on family heritage, real ingredients, and hard work. Jack Link’s uses 100% beef, turkey, chicken, and pork, selecting lean cuts of meat that are marinated with time-honored family recipes and slowly cooked in their own smokehouses. The company is committed to crafting authentic, high-quality protein snacks that are both delicious and convenient, allowing consumers to refuel anytime, anywhere.
With more than 130 years of history and five generations of family leadership, Jack Link’s remains family-owned and operated. Guided by American pioneer spirit and strong community values, the brand represents traditional American meat craftsmanship while continuing to grow as a globally recognized leader in protein snacks built on quality, integrity, and innovation.
