| Chomps Original Beef Stick | 10g | 100 cal | 0g |

Savory Snacks vs the Sweet Shelf
None of these carries meaningful sugar; the Chomps Original Beef Stick and the tray show 0 g. Against the sweet snack shelf, where a Marshmallow Dream Bar is 24 g of sugar, this is the shelf for anyone keeping sugar low. Sodium is the trade: cured meats and jerky run high, and the tray carries the most.
