Jack Link's launches 'Squid Game' inspired beef jerky

New jerky flavor celebrates the essence of Neftlix's 'Squid Game.'

Jack Link’s is introducing its newest limited-edition beef jerky flavor, “Red Light Green Light,” a tribute to Netflix's "Squid Game."

“We are thrilled to introduce this unique flavor to our consumers, especially at a time when 'Squid Game' is returning with such fervor,” said Holly LaVallie, SVP of marketing at Jack Link’s. “The Red Light Green Light jerky is more than just a snack—it’s an experience that brings together the thrill of the show and the bold, savory taste that our fans love. It’s the perfect addition to our product line for fans of both Jack Link’s and 'Squid Game.'”

The “Red Light Green Light” flavor draws its inspiration from the intensity of "Squid Game," combining sweet and spicy Korean flavors of ssamjang with Jack Link’s signature beef jerky. This new flavor celebrates the essence of the show, offering a sensory experience that mirrors the thrilling unpredictability and boldness of "Squid Game." The exclusive “Red Light Green Light” flavor, along with Original and Teriyaki varieties, are available in limited edition, collectible "Squid Game" packaging.
