Dried Meat - Artisan Vs Mass Produced

Buy from an online business, not a mass-produced product from the Supermarket or Service Station!

The best beef jerky is rarely found in large supermarkets or service stations. These products never sell for more than a few dollars, and with such low prices manufacturers are forced to find ways to maintain decent profit margins.

To achieve this, they are using cheap meat, and then using it in the smallest amounts possible. A quick look at a mass-produced product reveals that there are some other ingredients diluting the meat protein. Commonly we will see extremely high sugar content, and very moist products. It makes sense – sugar and water is much cheaper than beef!

Mass-produced jerky typically has lots of artificial colours, flavours, and preservatives. So, if you want a quality jerky, you are looking in the right place. It a great idea to buy the best beef jerky online.

Gambling with Homemade Jerky

Improper preparation or storage methods can contaminate the meat! Without the right equipment and cooking techniques, dehydrating raw meat can allow pathogenic bacteria that can cause infections and sickness to grow. E.coli, Listeria and Salmonella outbreaks have been linked back to jerky that was not handled properly or not cooked quite right.

To minimize the risk of food poisoning from beef jerky, ensure that you purchase jerky from reputable sources, check for proper packaging and expiration dates, and store it according to the manufacturer's recommendations. It does not take much moisture for the formation of Mold, which can ruin a perfectly fine batch of jerky if it is not completely dried and packaged right.
