Mustard

Some biltong is cured with Worcestershire sauce, which carries fish and gluten. Check the packet.
Pickles in vinegar often list sulphites. Check the jar.

Flags follow UK labelling rules and come from the ingredients as listed, not from any particular brand. Check the packet before cooking for somebody with an allergy.

Ingredients

Biltong35 g
Red pepper80 g
Cucumber80 g
Gherkins30 g
Wholegrain mustard1 tsp (6 g), for dipping

Method

Cut the pepper into strips and the cucumber into batons about the length of a finger.
Drain the gherkins and pat everything dry so the biltong does not go damp against it.
Pack into a box with the biltong on top and the mustard in a corner or a scrap of foil.

Worth knowing

Most of the volume is vegetables and most of the 19 g of protein is the 35 g of biltong. It travels in a bag for a day without a fridge, which nothing with cheese or yogurt does.
Biltong salt varies a lot by maker. Taste before adding any.
