So I was never very particular about which jerky spices or marinades I used on my venison and have used many different brands and flavors. I tried Cabela's brand last year with low expectations but man it was some of the best flavors I've eaten. The teriyaki and the peppered were my favorites. I recently got some gift cards for Cabela's for my birthday so I figured I'd get some seasoning since hunting season is on. I'm reading the package and it says the ingredients contain sucralose on 3/5 flavors in the variety pack. I was shocked to see that they would put an artificial sweetener in something that is already loaded with sugar(cure). I usually can taste the artificial sweeteners and think they have a repulsive flavor. I don't want to argue about whether they are safe or not. Each unto their own on that. I will say that I have other reasons to avoid them but amongst all the salt and spice they got past my taste buds undetected. I'll be watching closer and choosing carefully from now on.
