On April 1, 2014, Jack Link's acquired Unilever's meat snack division in an attempt to expand its consumer base all throughout Europe. The acquisition includes the Bifi brand, sold in Germany, Benelux, Austria and Switzerland; and Peperami, which retails in the UK and Ireland; and the manufacturing unit in Ansbach, Germany.

In April 2015 Jack Link's Beef Jerky changed its logo "to better represent the brand’s 'Feed Your Wild Side' positioning and overall appeal." This new logo was designed by Davis Design of Mississauga, Ontario.

In May 2015 Jack Link's Jerky added five new commercials to the comedic ad campaign "Messin' with Sasquatch".
