After divorcing from its global snack business less than a year ago, Kraft Foods Group (NYSE:KRFT) has sought to streamline its business operations as a domestic consumer packaged foods supplier. The stock has surged around 30 percent since the spinoff, as Kraft’s management and investors alike are optimistic about higher margins and better product innovation. Can Kraft continue to grow without its snack business? Let’s use our CHEAT SHEET investing framework to decide whether Kraft is an OUTPERFORM, WAIT AND SEE, or STAY AWAY.
C = Catalysts for the Stock’s Growth
The food giant, formerly known as Kraft Foods, broke into two separate components last October—its global snack business becoming Mondelez International (NASDAQ:MDLZ) and its North American consumer packaged food business becoming Kraft Foods Group. Kraft houses popular American brands such as Philadelphia, Oscar Meyer, Planters, and Maxwell House; Mondelez owns snack-food brands like Oreo, Chips Ahoy, and Trident gum. Existing shareholders were granted one new share of Mondelez International and a third of a share of Kraft Foods Group per one share of old Kraft. The spinoff originally occurred because the global snack business was growing much faster than the domestic grocery business. However, the newly issued Kraft Foods Group stock has actually grown more than Mondelez International’s stock on a percentage basis, since the split.

Getty Images/Joe Raedle Nelson Peltz doesn’t want to wash down his Fritos with a Pepsi — at least, not if they’re both sold by the same company. His investment firm, Trian Fund Management, is a major shareholder in PepsiCo (PEP), which owns both of those brands, and he’s pushing for it to separate its beverage business from its snack foods. The proposal cuts at the foundation of PepsiCo’s business strategy, which revolves around the perceived synergies between its liquid offerings and its foodstuffs. Not surprisingly, the company has been swift to reject Peltz’s idea in the strongest possible terms. But before we toss it out with the recycling, let’s take a look to see if the proposal could be beneficial, or if it’s really just so much flat soda. On its website, PepsiCo’s lineup of products appears under the category “Brands You Love.” Indeed, you’d be hard-pressed to fine someone who isn’t a fan of at least one — Pepsi, Tropicana, Lipton, Quaker Oats, Doritos, Fritos, Lay’s and Ruffles, among many others. Synergy Among a Portfolio of Lovable Brands But Peltz argues the familiarity and renown of those products has not translated into meaningful returns lately. In a letter Trian sent PepsiCo, it said that under the reign of current CEO Indra Nooyi, the firm’s growth in earnings per share “has significantly trailed that of peers.” Trian argues that separating the two businesses would eliminate the overhead that comes from a sprawling corporate structure, and make each of the resultant companies leaner and more “entrepreneurial.” A glance at recent history seems to indicate otherwise. Look at the arc of a recent snack food divorcee, Mondelez International (MDLZ). The company, which divested itself of what is now Kraft Foods Group (KRFT) in October 2012, saw fourth-quarter 2013 revenues of just under $9.5 billion. This was slightly lower than the result in the same quarter last year, its first as a stand-alone entity. Attributable net ballooned more than th

Fair Value: In calculating fair value, I consider the NPV MMA Differential Fair Value along with these four calculations of fair value, see page 2 of the linked PDF for a detailed description:
1. Avg. High Yield Price
2. 20-Year DCF Price
3. Avg. P/E Price
4. Graham Number
HRL is trading at a premium to all four valuations above. The stock is trading at a 27.6% premium to its calculated fair value of $35.92. HRL did not earn any Stars in this section.
Dividend Analytical Data: In this section there are three possible Stars and three key metrics, see page 2 of the linked PDF for a detailed description:
1. Free Cash Flow Payout
2. Debt To Total Capital
3. Key Metrics
4. Dividend Growth Rate
5. Years of Div. Growth
6. Rolling 4-yr Div. > 15%
HRL earned one Star in this section for 2.) above. The stock earned a Star as a result of its most recent Debt to Total Capital being less than 45%. The company has paid a cash dividend to shareholders every year since 1928 and has increased its dividend payments for 48 consecutive years.
Dividend Income vs. MMA: Why would you assume the equity risk and invest in a dividend stock if you could earn a better return in a much less risky money market account (MMA) or Treasury bond? This section compares the earning ability of this stock with a high yield MMA. Two items are considered in this section, see page 2 of the linked PDF for a detailed description:
1. NPV MMA Diff.
2. Years to > MMA
HRL earned a Star in this section for its NPV MMA Diff. of the $984. This amount is in excess of the $500 target I look for in a stock that has increased dividends as long as HRL has. If HRL grows its dividend at 13.2% per year, it will take 7 years to equal a MMA yielding an estimated 20-year average rate of 3.68%.

In May 2010, 16 of the nation’s biggest food and beverage companies, from Coca-Cola (KO) to Kraft Foods Group (KRFT), pledged to remove 1 trillion calories from the U.S. marketplace by 2012 and 1.5 trillion by 2015, compared with a 2007 baseline. In fact, as of 2012 they sold 6.4 trillion fewer calories, found an analysis by researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. “Reports like this, and the fact that they exceeded their commitment by fourfold, really shows that you can make progress in giving American families more healthy options,” said Larry Soler, president of the Partnership for a Healthier America, a non-profit chaired by first lady Michelle Obama. The group was formed in 2010 to work with the private sector on anti-obesity strategies. At the time, critics said the Partnership relied too heavily on the good will of the industry and couldn’t replace the role of tighter regulation on how food is manufactured and marketed. Such voluntary efforts by industry “are not a magic bullet,” said Jeff Levi, executive director of Trust for America’s Health, a non-profit policy group. “Particularly with kids, there is a role for regulation” in reducing demand for unhealthy, high-calorie fare. It isn’t clear yet how the companies accomplished the dramatic calorie reduction, said UNC public health researcher Barry Popkin, who led the analysis funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the nation’s largest public health philanthropy. Some of the decline may have come from the recession, as financially strapped families cut back on junk food. When the pledge was announced, companies said they would substitute lower-calorie pro

Down, down, down Supervalu (SVU) goes and where it stops, no one knows. Not even Goldman Sachs, which cut Supervalu’s shares to Sell from Neutral, though it does have a guess.
Goldman Sachs analysts Stephen Grambling and Christopher Prykull explain their thinking:
SVU shares are up 183% year-to-date (vs. S&P 500 +26%) as management’s initiatives have slowed the top-line deterioration at the company’s retail banners and Save-A-Lot. As the market has started to factor in stable-to-improving EBITDA on a highly levered equity base, the stock has re-rated from 4.5X EV/EBITDA to 6.1X EV/EBITDA. With the shares now trading above the historical average and roughly in line with peers, we expect future downward revisions to consensus estimates will likely drive a rerating of the shares to a more normalized level.
While we have been encouraged by the new management team’s success in effecting change, we believe cuts to food stamps (SNAP benefits), potential reductions to the transition service agreement, and encroaching competition will likely overwhelm operational improvements…
Shares of Supervalu have dropped 8.3% to $6.31 at 2:59 p.m., within spitting distance of Goldman’s $6 target price, while competitors Family Dollar Stores (FDO) has gained 0.2% to $70.16, Dollar General (DG) has fallen 0.4% t0 $59.02, Dollar Tree (DLTR) is off 1% to $59.33 and Wal-Mart (WMT) is little changed at $79.19.

Sysco has avoided the margin compression suffered by chicken producers Tyson (NYSE: TSN ) and Cal-Maine Foods (NASDAQ: CALM ) and which was more deeply felt by smaller food-service operator Nash-Finch (NASDAQ: NAFC ) . (It is omitted from this chart due to its drop into outright negative operating margin territory (a decline of roughly 250% in two years.) However, fellow food-service company United Natural Foods (NASDAQ: UNFI ) has actually improved its margins, and restaurant chains both large and small (well, mid-size) have done an admirable job of holding the margin line in the face of rising input costs. So it appears that scale alone isn’t enough to help Sysco outrun the rising costs of its products.

Furthermore, the court’s finding does not undermine the use of the ATS in cases of human rights abuses. It just requires a stronger connection to the United States. That means that other ATS cases currently working their way through the legal system, such as Earth Rights International’s case against Chiquita (NYSE: CQB ) for allegedly funding and arming Colombian terrorists, are still on track. That also means that the link from human rights violations to corporate liability remains.

There are tons of eggnog recipes online that people have posted to make a "safe" eggnog recipe. You mention the words raw + egg and it seems that everyone runs screaming for the hills as if you mentioned the most unholy of holies. Raw eggs have been consumed forever in cooking and guess what, the majority of people turn out just fine. Vanilla egg creams are still one of my favorite old school diner drinks, eating raw chocolate chip cookie dough through childhood , and of course drinking eggnog. All done, still alive.
I've done it too, same as you, making the recipes that call for cooking the egg mixture because of paranoia of salmonella, which of course will kill the bacteria if it is present, but there are several other ways to severely reduce the risk of salmonella poisoning besides cooking the mixture down, which I will mention in a second.
The problem with cooking your eggs is that it makes your eggnog taste like utter garbage. That's a big problem. You just wasted gas, a dozen eggs, your precious time, and a dash of ego to create the worlds soupiest, saddest, most uneggnog like concoction ever. Adding extra heavy cream or whip cream to it will not save it, I tried that too. It will not hide the fact that it tastes terrible.
Now for those of you who want to make a traditionally rich, creamy and frothy delicious eggnog that your friends and family will rave about and beg you to make every year...read on!
1.) Buy only fresh, refrigerated eggs, grade A or AA.
2.) Use only eggs with non-cracked shells
3.) Avoid getting any contact between the yolks, eggwhites and the shell itself.
4.) If your eggs have chicken poop on them..mayday mayday..
5.) Use eggs that have been treated to destroy salmonella by pasteurization or other methods.
Feeling better? But still not sure if you want to take the risk? Here is another way to help reduce the risk of bacteria in both your 'nogg and you.
"Come They Told Me,..Rum RumRumRum Rummmmmmm"
Besides it's necessity for flavoring, alcohol has been historically a tried and proven way of killing off bacteria in uncertain times. Back in the days of the black plague, many countries started brewing beer and whiskey and other alcoholic beverages in lieu of drinking their own water, because they were so worried about contamination. I'm not encouraging drinking to cure infectious diseases but I am suggesting that for those of you who are concerned of getting sick from drinking a raw egg beverage, a little splash of alcohol will go a long way to kill off any lingering beasties if they by some miracle happened to actually survive the pasteurization of the eggs and the industrial sized refrigerators in your supermarket.
The other benefit besides easing your egg paranoia is that it makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside without the need for a fireplace.
The Best Traditional Eggnog Recipe Ever
The key to this recipe is that the eggnog base portion of the recipe is aged for one week to make sure maximum flavor melding of the ingredients is achieved!
For the eggnog:
12 large eggs yolks (reserve the whites)
2 cups granulated sugar
1 liter bourbon
1 quart (4 cups) whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup Cognac or brandy
1/2 cup Barbancourt (Haitian)/Brugal (Dominican) dark rum
Pinch fine salt
12 reserved egg whites
1 1/2 cups cold heavy cream
Freshly grated nutmeg
For the eggnog:
Place the reserved egg whites in a very clean and airtight container and freeze until the eggnog is ready to serve. Combine the yolks and sugar in a large bowl and whisk until well blended and creamy. Add the the remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Transfer the mixture to a large glass jar (1 Gal.) and tightly seal. Place in the refrigerator for at least 1 week and as much as up to 3 weeks.
The night before you plan on serving, place the frozen egg whites in the refrigerator to thaw out gradually. When ready to serve, let the egg whites come to room temperature. Place the egg whites in the very clean bowl and use your power mixer to whisk. Whisk on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a large bowl.
Place the cream in the mixer bowl (no need to wash it out) and whisk again on high speed until medium peaks form, about 1 to 2 minutes. Pour into bowl with eggwhites. Stir the eggnog base with a rubber spatula to re-combine, then add it to the cream and eggwhite bowl. Gently whisk the eggnog together until just combined but do not overwhisk or you’ll deflate the eggnog. Serve in cups over ice, or without, and garnished with some grated nutmeg.

When it concerns flexible and scrumptious side meals, rice takes the crown. Whether you’re preparing an Asian-inspired stir-fry, a reassuring plate of jambalaya, or a straightforward rice pilaf, having a sure-fire rice recipe in your arsenal is a must. In this write-up, we’ll share our keys to accomplishing cosy, savory rice every single time.
1. Picking the right sort of rice:
The initial step in developing the ideal rice dish is selecting the appropriate kind of rice. There are numerous ranges to pick from, including long-grain, medium-grain, and also short-grain rice. Long-grain rice, such as basmati or jasmine, is light and also cosy, making it perfect for pilafs and also stir-fries. Medium-grain rice, like arborio, is a little bit stickier and also excellent for risottos. Short-grain rice, such as sushi rice, is sticky and also excellent for sushi or rice pudding. Take into consideration the dish you’ll be making and pick appropriately.
2. Rinse the rice:
Rinsing the rice before cooking assists eliminate any excess starch as well as ensures a fluffier end result. Area the rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cool water till the water runs clear. This step is specifically crucial for sticky rice varieties like sushi rice.
3. The best proportion:
The proportion of water to rice is crucial for attaining the ideal texture. A basic rule of thumb is to use 1 3/4 cups of water for each 1 cup of rice. Nonetheless, this might vary slightly relying on the type of rice and also your individual choice. Trying out different proportions until you locate the one that works best for you.
4. Food preparation methods:
There are numerous techniques for food preparation rice, consisting of stovetop, rice stove, and also instant pot. Stovetop food preparation is the most standard approach and also entails simmering the rice in a covered pot. Rice cookers as well as instantaneous pots supply convenience as well as consistency. Adhere to the instructions supplied with your rice stove or instant pot for finest outcomes.
More ideas for success:
-Invest in a top quality pot with a tight-fitting lid to prevent vapor from getting away.
-Prevent raising the cover while the rice is cooking, as this permits steam to run away and also can result in unequal results.
-After the rice has actually ended up food preparation, allow it sit, covered, for a couple of minutes before fluffing it with a fork. This aids to uniformly disperse the wetness and also leads to an ideal texture.
Now that you have the foundation for making the excellent rice, the opportunities are limitless. Try out various flavors, herbs, and also seasonings to create rice meals that enhance any type of dish. With a little method and focus to details, you’ll quickly end up being a master of rice cooking.


Best Food Grade Stainless Steel And 5 Things To Know
The food sector has strict criteria that manufacturers must follow to maintain complete FDA compliance and avoid contamination. The obvious choice for any machinery or goods that will be used in the processing of food or beverages is stainless steel. However, some may be unaware that not all stainless steel is considered food-grade.
Stainless steel that makes it possible to manage food items following governmental safety standards while maintaining the highest levels of purity and quality is called "food grade."
Let’s take an example of salt, which is regularly introduced to a steel's surface during food processing, is a food substance that is extremely resistant to acids, alkalis, and chlorides. Food-grade stainless steel surfaces are made to be more durable, smoother, and resistant to these substances.
In this post, we will explore the best type of food-grade stainless steel to use for food processing.
What Is Food-Grade Stainless Steel?
Let’s understand what food-grade stainless steel is. In the food sector, stainless steel is subjected to heat, water, and harsh cleaning substances. Food-grade stainless steel holds up well, is free of rust and corrosion, and is easy to clean during those exposures. Additionally, the pitting resistance means it retains a surface that is simple to maintain and clean. Last but not least, the metal can withstand high temperatures because of its heat resistance.
Because of these factors, many food makers use stainless steel metal trays throughout the food-cooking process. Some people might not be aware, though, that not all stainless steel is the same. Hundreds of different types of stainless steel are available, each with a special set of characteristics.
The best stainless steel depends on the particular application or use. For instance, a processor specializing in tomato sauce will have very different performance requirements than a confectioner preparing chocolates.
Why Is It Used In The Food Industry?
Stainless steel refers to iron-based alloys that include at least 11% chromium. Other metals, particularly nickel, and other elements, like carbon, are included in the alloy. Stainless steel's unique and diverse constituent composition gives it the qualities that make it valuable in various sectors, including the food industry, especially those where the metal will be exposed to harsh environmental conditions.
If you need clarification on brushed stainless steel vs stainless steel, visit our website for a better understanding.
Different Types Of Food Grade Stainless Steel
1. Food Grade Stainless Steel 316
Food Grade Stainless Steel 316 is a high chromium and nickel austenitic stainless steel alloy. It has a continuous use temperature several times greater than most food manufacturing processes will ever require more than 800°C, or 1472°F, like many steel alloys.
The grade 316 alloy's exceptional resistance to acids, alkalis, and chlorides (such as salt) makes it the best food-grade stainless steel sheet material. Salt, frequently present in food goods, can cause severe pitting corrosion in other austenitic stainless steels, such as grade 304 SS.
For almost any culinary use, 316 stainless steel creates excellent food-grade containers.
2. Food Grade 430 Stainless Steel
Food-grade stainless steel 430 is an extremely comparable alloy to grade 316 stainless steel. It is cheaper for some food manufacturers since it has the same amount of chromium as 316 but much less nickel.
The fact that grade 430 stainless steel is a ferritic alloy, which means it is magnetic by default, is another significant distinction compared to grade 316 stainless steel. Ferritic alloys, such as 430 SS, are also extremely resistant to stress corrosion cracking (creating cracks that can cause rapid failure in corrosive situations).
Because of its high resistance to nitric and organic acids, 430 SS is frequently utilized for applications where prolonged contact with slightly acidic chemicals is a concern. Additionally, the alloy boasts resistance to oxidation and sulfur.
The low nickel concentration, however, makes this alloy less resistant to some diluted reducing acids than grade 316 stainless steel.
3. Stainless steel food grade 304
It has a higher chromium content than SS 316, which increases its resistance to acidic foods and liquids. Its uses are restricted to processing specific non-chloride foods because it doesn't function well in the presence of chlorides.
Vats, bowls, piping, machinery parts for the dairy industry, and breweries are a few examples of 304 stainless steel food-grade equipment.
Other varieties of stainless steel food grades with significant uses in the food sector include:
Martensitic stainless steel food grade 420 is used to create kitchen utensils, expert knives, spatulas, etc.
Austenitic stainless steel food grade 1.4539 treats salty foods that are slow to move, stagnant, and corrosive to solids.
SS 1.4462 Duplex stainless steel food grade is stronger than austenitic grades and strongly resistant to stress corrosion cracking in salt solutions at high temperatures.
Which Is The Best For Food-Safe Stainless Steel For Application?
In general, SS food grade 316 is frequently a superior option for producing containers made of food-quality stainless steel. In many applications, especially when working with salt and more potent acids like lemon or tomato juice, 316 SS is more chemically resistant.
For food manufacturers who want a moderately resistant, food-grade steel sheet for their manufacturing process, 430 is an excellent, less expensive solution.
It is important to note that electropolishing can improve the resistance characteristics of both alloys. This procedure not only strengthens the steel's protective oxide layer but also smooths out the alloy's surface, making it easier to clean and less likely for food to stick to the metal.
5 Best Things For Grade Stainless Steel
1. Rust-free Metal
The surface of stainless steel is smooth and rust-free. Stainless steel is resistant to numerous elements that iron alone could not survive because it combines iron and chromium. Many metals would be damaged by corrosion or prolonged exposure to water, but stainless steel is not one of them. You can freely soak stainless steel in water without worrying about rust.
2. Easy cleaning and maintaining
The ability of stainless steel to resist corrosion is highly beneficial for maintaining the cleanliness of surfaces used for food and beverages. The stainless steel's polish almost minimizes the possibility of bacterial development. It's simple to disinfect and clean.
3. Availability of various food-Grades
Not all stainless steel is the same. The most often used stainless steel grades for kitchen and culinary use are 304, 316, and 430. SS food-grade 304 is used for kitchen equipment and appliances. 316 is used for cutlery with a smoother finish and avoids corrosion.
4. Resistance to Corrosion
In addition to being durable and safe, stainless steel is also resistant to corrosion. SS food grade is resistant to absorbing colors, odors, or other substances. It is crucial when attempting a rapid sanitization of commercial cookware or applications. Also, It is frequently used in food, surgery, and other applications due to this repulsive quality.
5. Supremacy to Aluminum
When exploring alternatives to stainless steel, aluminum is frequently a popular consideration. Aluminum has certain drawbacks in the kitchen despite being a potentially less expensive option. Its quick heating and cooling make aluminum's low tensile strength ideal for baking trays. When using cutlery or culinary tools, there are better options than this. The temperature changes pose a safety risk. 304 and 316 stainless steel can be the best choice if you're looking for a stronger and safer food-grade metal.
Remember These Things While Utilizing Food-Grade Stainless Steel.
Never Clean Stainless Steel With A Plain Steel Brush.
Steel wire brushes are a common alternative for removing deeply embedded stains from metal surfaces. However, it would be best never to clean a stainless steel object with such brushes.
The stainless steel surface can become embedded with plain steel brush particles, risking the integrity of the shielding oxide layer. As a result, the "stainless" steel will eventually rust like regular steel.
Furthermore, you should avoid cleaning stainless and regular steel using the same tools. The stainless steel could pick up particles from the plain steel.
Extreme temperatures can have an impact on food-grade stainless steel.
Low temperatures have the potential to harm stainless steel shapes. Most stainless steels have melting points far higher than those frequently used in food-related processes.
When choosing food-grade stainless steel (and any prospective coatings), paying attention to temperature extremes in your manufacturing process is still crucial.
The steel's finish may impact how suitable it is for processing food.
Although stainless steel is renowned for its ability to resist corrosion, just because the surface appears smooth and bright doesn't guarantee that it is food-grade.
The steel's finish is easy to clean, disinfect, and free of surfaces, supporting bacterial development to achieve important sanitary criteria.

Carnivor Beef Protein Review
Working out with the help of beef remains undisputed in the world of bodybuilding. Ask any professional athlete or bodybuilder, and they’ll likely say that beef makes them feel their best.
With that in mind, there are several dietary supplements with beef protein for bodybuilding coming up in today’s world.
One of the most popular among them is the MuscleMeds Carnivor Beef Protein, which we’ll be discussing today.
The company that makes this supplement claims that beef protein provides more muscle mass compared to whey protein.
What is MuscleMeds Carnivor Beef Protein?
Carnivor is basically a protein powder supplement that has beef protein isolate.
This makes the supplement stand out from other products that have whey protein isolate instead. Carnivor has 350% more amino acids than your everyday steak.
The company that makes Carnivor is MuscleMeds. This brand has been around for more than ten years now. They make some of the best supplements for professional bodybuilders and athletes.
Their products range from fat-burning proteins to muscle gaining beef protein. They also have a number of amino acid supplements.
Here are the main ingredients of Carnivor Beef Protein:
This is the primary ingredient of Carnivor Beef Protein, which is also a trademark of the company. It is a mixture of beef protein isolates, BCCA, and creatine.
Beef protein isolate is the protein that the company extracts from beef. Several studies have shown that taking beef protein results in leaner body mass.
Creatine is a chemical substance that is naturally present in the brain and muscle tissues. It is also presents on red meat and some other seafoods. However, Creatine Monohydrate is a lab-made version of it.
This substance helps in improving one’s performance and endurance during an intensive workout routine. It also helps in increasing the overall muscle mass for professional bodybuilders and athletes.
Lucine is an essential amino acid that helps the body in making proteins. The body does not produce Lucine naturally, but it can be found in eggs, fish, chicken, and dairy products.
L-Isoleucine is another amino acid ingredient that helps the body in producing protein.
Anabolic Nitrogen Retention Technology (ANRT)
This is one of the most important and beneficial ingredients in Carnivor Beef Protein. It helps in recycling amino acids, which in turn results in more muscle growth. This ingredient is a major selling point of Carnivor Beef Protein.
Hydrolyzed Gelatin allows the protein to mix well with liquids. It does not have any color or taste.
Maltodextrin is a substance that is used as a food additive. The primary purpose of this substance is to thicken the protein formula and improve the mouthfeel.
Acesulfame potassium is an artificial sweetener but without the calories. It is about 200 times sweeter than regular sugar. It also helps in masking the bitter aftertaste of supplements.
Some other ingredients include:
Artificial and natural flavors
How to take Carnivor Beef Protein
MuscleMeds Beef Protein is a powder-based supplement. So you can take it by mixing with any kind of liquid like water, juice or milk.
The recommended dosage is one scoop of carnivore beef protein mixed with about six to seven ounces of liquid.
You can take multiple servings in a day, depending on your required protein intake. If you have a high fitness goal, you can have more than two servings in a day. Consider the amount of protein you’re getting from other sources as well.
What does it taste like?
Carnivor Beef Protein comes in five different flavors which are:
Chocolate Peanut Butter
Cookies and Cream
Even though the supplement is a beef-based product, it does not taste anything like beef. It tastes like any other supplement with different flavors.
You wouldn’t even know it’s a beef based supplement unless you check the label. Many people have given favorable feedback about the taste.
Benefits of Carnivor Beef Protein
The Carnivor Beef Protein comes with a ton of benefits. It has 350% more concentration than a regular beef steak. Besides that, it has more protein isolate compared to a whey protein supplement.
Carnivor has loads of amino acids extracted from beef, which is excellent for muscle building. This makes the product very effective and helps you get the most out of every workout. You will receive about 2.5 grams of creatine from each serving.
Overall, the main benefit of Carnivor Beef Protein is having bigger muscle mass and a better workout routine.
What are the side effects of Carnivor Beef Protein?
Beef Protein does not necessarily have any side effects. But it does have a high concentration of sodium. So if you’re looking for something with less sodium content, you’re better off looking for some other product.
Besides that, Carnivor also has a substance called sucralose, which is an artificial sweetener. This substance is known to have several side effects. There are also other ingredients that could trigger an allergy, such as peanuts and cocoa.
Does Carnivor Beef Protein really work?
Carnivor Beef Protein is a product that has all the right ingredients to give you an effective bodybuilding experience. The overwhelming response from users shows that Carnivor is more effective than any whey-based supplements.
With the right amount of serving and regular workout, you will eventually see some drastic changes.
23 grams of beef protein in each serving
Suitable for people who are lactose intolerant
More protein isolate than a whey-based supplement
20 times more creatine than a steak
ANRT technology that recycles amino acids

High Sodium content

Carnivor Beef Protein is something that you’ve never probably tried before. It’s nothing like the usual whey-based supplement. It’s more effective and provides better muscle growth and athletic performance.
There may be some cons, but the pros easily outweigh it. If you are looking for an effective bodybuilding supplement, you should try this one. Being suitable for lactose intolerant people makes this much more appealing.
