What’s in each bar?

Beef, tallow, and options including salt, no-salt, salt + raw honey, and Pluck (an organ-based seasoning). A lot of meat gets condensed into each bar! Each bar contains the equivalent of an 6oz Ribeye steak with 80 percent of the calories from fat and 20 percent of the calories from protein. So basically a steak you can put in your pocket and take with you anywhere! Each bar is slightly more protein than fat by volume, giving the bar a delightful crunch that we’ve engineered mechanically, without having to add anything chemical or unnatural that might upset our digestion. The weight of each bar is roughly 56 grams, making it approximately 400 calories per bar. Find out more about the bar here

Will the Carnivore Bar work for my diet?

Whether you are on a carnivore, ancestral, paleo, keto, or omnivore diet, The Carnivore Bar is your best high-fat, meal-replacement travel food. Each bar is full of high-quality grass-fed, grass-finished protein and fat, vitamins and minerals, and keeps you feeling full while on the go. Carnivore Bars also make it through the airport for your plane travels with no issues! Learn more about what goes into each bar and the varieties we have here.

What kind of salt do you use for the salted bars?

We use Redmond's Real Salt in all of our salted bars. Redmond’s Real Salt “is unrefined sea salt mined from an ancient seabed in Utah where it’s safe from modern pollutants.”

What kind of honey do you use for the honey bars?

We currently use Sleeping Bear Farms raw honey, which is a star thistle honey produced in Northern Michigan. It contains enzymes and natural bee pollen, is unprocessed and unfiltered, and has a slightly floral taste with a smooth finish.

My Carnivore Bars are soft or have melted - are they bad? Do they need to be refrigerated?

Nope! Carnivore Bars are shelf-stable, meaning they don’t need to be refrigerated. Although they WILL be slightly softer in warmer weather, this just means that there are ZERO fillers or preservatives used. The shelf-life of the bars are not affected by temperature as a result of the technology we use to make them. Feel free to throw them in the fridge overnight to harden up if you prefer a firmer, crunchier texture. Check out more about our bars here

When do the bars expire?

Though our bars don’t have an official “expiration date,” we’re in the process of assessing their shelf-life for a definitive answer - we’re attempting to prove 25 years! Like pemmican, Carnivore Bars are naturally shelf stable due to the absence of moisture left in the meat of the finished product, which we test with a water activity meter for each batch. Additionally, to reduce risks of oxidation we use specialized wrappers that don’t allow for oxygen or moisture to enter into the product, which would cause food spoilage.

How much does each bar weigh?

Each bar weighs 2 ounces and contains approximately 1/2 lb of dried beef.

do you ship internationally?

While we love the global community that has previously purchased from us, we are now only shipping to the USA as we've run into problems with other countries accepting our packages since meat products are highly regulated and every country seems to have different import laws. Until we can be sure that international customers will be able to receive the packages they order from us, we will continue to ship only within the US. We apologize for the inconvenience and we are working hard to find a solution to ship The Carnivore Bar world-wide. 

What is your shipping and return policy?

All items are final sale and ineligible for refund/return or exchange. We will offer a refund for defected items ONLY, but not because you didn't enjoy the flavor/texture of the product. This is a polarizing product and we HIGHLY recommend trying a single bar sample before purchasing a larger quantity. Please contact us with any questions or concerns.
