Small steps, big goals: This company is going places.

WAMC is always looking out for companies that show a passion for their products with a flare that is matched only by their enthusiasm to grow and develop. Then there are those times when we stumble across a company that simply fits with our idea of what a true company is. They position themselves above others, with respect for their industry, their clients and their environment. This is one of those companies and we are proud to officially announce Melbourne Jerky as a

WAMC Quality-Endorsed Company.

Melbourne Jerky was established in 2022 with a simple goal: to create high-quality, genuine Beef Jerky that was free from added preservatives and sugars. What started as a hobby of making jerky for family and friends quickly grew after receiving overwhelmingly positive feedback.

Today, Melbourne Jerky is proud to offer premium, high-protein products made from quality meats.

Their key offerings include four delicious flavours: Jalapeno, Texan Honey, Pizza, and Ghostly Inferno, with plans to introduce an Indigenous flavor, potentially featuring Kangaroo Jerky or beef jerky by mid-2025. Melbourne Jerky’s commitment to using only the finest ingredients, creating innovative flavours, and offering a convenient, healthy snack option sets them apart in the market.

Focusing on quality products, Melbourne Jerky uses only MSA grade meats. Meat Standards Australia (MSA) is a grading system developed to improve the supply of consistently high-quality meat to the beef consumer. MSA is a ‘tenderness guaranteed’ grading program that grades beef based on eating quality. The MSA system grades each muscle (cut) on eating quality, with regards to tenderness, juiciness, flavour and overall liking.

With a mission to provide a wholesome alternative to processed snacks, Melbourne Jerky is focused on health, fitness, and sustainability. Their ambition is to become not just a household name in Australia, but a globally recognised brand, all while ensuring their meats and ingredients are sourced sustainably.

Small steps, big goals—Melbourne Jerky is on a journey to redefine snacking for good health and great taste.

Natural flavours, a Healthy Choice for Endorsement.

When WAMC looks to put its brand on a product we aim for three distinct characteristics in a business or product. 1. The quality of the product, 2. The character of the owners and staff, and 3. The impact it can have for the better on the community. WAMC love diversity and creativity and this company is no exception. This owners love for alternative beverages with a healthy aspect is exactly why WAMC have chosen to endorse Heal-Thy Soda as a quality company and product.

Michael Dunne’s passion for this product emerged from never having consumed traditional soft drinks as a child. By crafting his own healthy, thirst-quenching, sparkling beverage, he could enjoy the pleasures of a real soda, without the guilt of sugar or artificial flavours. As a trained chef, Michael created a “better for you” drink that was made from real ingredients, without artificial flavours, that has all the goodness of apple cider vinegar. Heal Thy Soda was born in his kitchen, and now Michael can share his passion with the world.

Heal-Thy Soda is a rapidly growing brand offering a refreshing, all-natural alternative to traditional soft drinks. Dubbed the “next big thing since Kombucha,” our apple cider vinegar-based drink combines authentic, real fruit ingredients with less than one gram of sugar per serving.

With no artificial additives and delightful flavours like Pineapple Lime and Mint, Raspberry & Rose, Ginger Lemongrass & Lime, and Passionfruit Peach & Berry, Heal-Thy Soda is perfect for health-conscious consumers.

Already stocked in over 500 locations across Melbourne Australia and expanding internationally, it is the ideal choice for those seeking a genuinely healthy and delicious beverage.

There are a range of healthy benefits to the drinks which are:

ACV assists insulin sensitivity during high carb meals by up to 19-34%, reducing insulin spikes
Contains enzymes from Mother in ACV and potassium which is known to increase energy
Reduces blood lipids that may contribute to high cholesterol
Lowers blood glucose and insulin responses
Blood Sugar: Apple cider vinegar has shown to improve insulin sensitivity during a high-carb meal by 19-34% and significantly lowers blood glucose and insulin responses.
Weight Loss: Vinegar along with high-carb meals can increase feelings of fullness and make people eat 200-275 fewer calories for the rest of the day.
Boost Energy: Apple cider vinegar contains potassium and enzymes that may relieve that tired feeling.

Currently, Heal-Thy Soda has four amazing flavours with more to come in the future. So far they have:

	Raspberry & Rose These flavours work beautifully together with a soft almost spring feeling, like walking through a rose garden. It’s light, fresh and the perfect drink if you enjoy subtle floral flavours. This is perfect to drink with friends at a picnic, on a warm summer’s day.
	Pineapple Lime & Mint Like a well-crafted mojito, this tangy fresh pineapple flavour is perfectly matched with fragrant mint leaves and a hint of lime juice, leaving you with a feeling of being in a Mexican poolside retreat.
	Passionfruit, Peach & Berry Sparking the inner child in everyone with this take on passionfruit soda, we have ramped up the flavour with the added splash of raspberries.
	Ginger Lime & Leomongrass Get set for a wild ride full of flavour with this exotic take on ginger beer! Lemongrass brings an aromatic pop to the fiery kick of ginger, while a splash of lime juice zips you away to an Asian wonderland. Your taste buds will be begging for more!
