Righteous Felon Biltong Compared With Grub Company: What Each Offers

Righteous Felon is a craft jerky and meat stick brand that also sells biltong; Grub Company is a biltong-first maker whose biltong and Meat Candy jerky are certified Glatt Kosher. If you keep kosher, that is the line that matters. If you do not, Righteous Felon offers a much bigger range of meat snacks than Grub does. Here is the plain comparison, built from what each company says on its own website.

Grub Company makes certified Glatt Kosher biltong, air-dried in small batches in Florida from grass-fed beef. As of October 2026, based on Righteous Felon's own website, this page lists what each company offers. We are not affiliated with Righteous Felon. We did not taste or test their products and we make no judgment about their quality. We only report what their site states, and where it states nothing, we say so.

What Righteous Felon says it offers

Righteous Felon's site describes itself around "craft beef jerky" and meat sticks. Its range includes jerky, meat sticks (including a Honey Heist BBQ beef stick), Lil' Rebels Mini Sticks, biltong, gift bundles and variety packs, jerky treats for dogs, gift cards and merchandise. It also offers Subscribe and Save and a Build Your Box option. It names flavors such as O.G. Hickory, Habanero Escobar, Darth Garlic and Bootleggin' BBQ.

Biltong is one collection among many. The biltong page lists three flavors: Darth Garlic, which it calls its top seller and the O.G. of the line, Ancho Villa, which it describes as spicier with a kick from ancho peppers, and Nelson Mandilla, which it describes as more savory, with dill and pepper. It also lists a three-pack and a six-pack variety set. The page did not give bag weights or say which flavors are in the variety packs.

On sourcing, the biltong page says all its biltong flavors are made in the U.S. and that the beef is American Black Angus, described as "locally sourced," without naming a location. The home page describes its beef as pasture raised Black Angus from American farms. The site says its biltong has zero sugar, is minimalist and all-natural, and suits Whole30, keto or paleo diets.

On shipping, the site offers free standard shipping above a stated order minimum, says orders typically ship within one business day, and lists rush shipping and Buy with Prime. It says it is sold in over 10,000 stores, and wholesale runs through a partner company. Visitors must confirm they are 18 or older to enter the site.

On certifications, the pages we read list no kosher certification and no other third-party certification. The site's own About page states none.

What Grub Company offers

Grub's center is Sliced Biltong, sold as a 3 oz ready-to-eat bag in Original, Peri Peri and Loaded Garlic. Original is beef first, then coriander. Peri Peri has real heat building behind it. Loaded Garlic is roasted garlic, savory rather than hot. Original's ingredients are grass-fed kosher beef, coriander, black pepper, salt, garlic and vinegar, with no sugar in the list. Peri Peri includes brown sugar, so read each label.

Grub also sells 1 oz Minis, a Biltong Sampler Pack, a one-pound bulk bag and one-pound uncut Slabs. Its jerky is Meat Candy, in Hickory Kickory Dock and Baa-Baa BBQ Sheep. It is cooked and glazed, so it is sweeter than biltong. Grub does not make meat sticks or dog treats.

Everything is certified Glatt Kosher, which our kosher biltong page explains. Grub ships to US addresses only, and orders over $50 ship free.

Side by side: what each company states

Who each one suits

Choose Grub if you keep kosher. Certification is a yes or no. We did not find a kosher certification stated on Righteous Felon's site, so a kosher household has nothing there to rely on. If you are buying for a shul, a simcha, a camp or a gift to someone who keeps kosher, buy the certified product. Our kosher biltong buying guide lists what to check on any label.

Choose Righteous Felon if you want variety beyond biltong. It sells many jerky flavors, meat sticks, mini sticks and even treats for dogs. If you want a mixed box of several meat snack types from one company, it offers far more than Grub does. Grub is deliberately narrow.

Choose Righteous Felon if you want a bold, named flavor lineup. Its names are playful and its flavors include ancho pepper and dill. Grub's biltong flavors are the traditional three.

Choose Grub if you want to size up a flavor first. The Sampler Pack gives you one mini of each flavor, which is the simplest way to find out whether you like the texture. Biltong gives way when you bite it. It does not fight back the way jerky does.

Choose Grub if you want to buy by the pound. The bulk bag and Slabs suit a big family or a party. A slab is an ingredient, not a snack. It needs a board and a sharp knife.

Choose Righteous Felon if you want to buy where you already shop. It says it is sold in over 10,000 stores and offers Buy with Prime. Grub sells through its own site.

How the biltong compares on paper

Both companies describe a short, spice-led product with no sugar in the headline claims. Righteous Felon says its biltong has zero sugar. Grub's Original lists no sugar in its ingredients, though Peri Peri lists brown sugar. If zero sugar matters to you, read the label of the exact flavor, whichever brand you buy.

The two brands name different spices. Righteous Felon names garlic, ancho pepper, dill and pepper in its flavor descriptions. Grub's labels name coriander, black pepper, garlic, red pepper, vinegar and, in Loaded Garlic, tomato powder. Neither list tells you which will taste better to you. Only a bag in your hand does, which is why we suggest starting small.

Both are ready to eat. Grub's biltong needs no refrigeration. For what to expect after you open a bag, see how long an opened bag lasts.

The bottom line

If kosher certification is on your list, the choice is clear: Grub. If it is not, and you want a wide world of meat snacks with a bold personality, Righteous Felon has the larger shelf. Many households will keep one of each for different jobs. If you are still deciding between a savory air-dried snack and a sweet one, start with our kosher beef jerky and then the biltong collection.
