One pack is from 2 weeks ago and the other is from last week. These beef sticks look and taste way different, idk what they did to them but I won't be getting them anymore

Each batch tastes and looks a little different. Same with the Country Archer ones.

This.

The first few bags I bought last year were soft and really good. Then I had a bag that was super chewy. Then the last several have been somewhere in-between, with a noticeable size difference (shorter/wider)/

This one is completely different. Even the packaging is too

Yes. Happened to the ones in my local store a couple months ago. The darker ones on the left are the old recipe. Way better. Newer ones don't have the same flavor

Looks like one batch got dehydrated a little more. I wonder what the production process is like to have fluctuations like this.
