Below are a list of frequently asked questions we commonly get asked. If you have a question that isn't answered below, please send it to us via email 📧 and we'll be sure to get you an answer!
WHAT IS THE SHELF LIFE OF YOUR JERKY?
6 WEEKS from the day that it was made!
Keep in mind that that is the Best By date and NOT an expiration date. (this means that it's the date the jerky is best consumed by, not necessarily when the jerky expires)
My jerky is made 100% without preservatives, so it has a very short shelf life compared to other commercially available jerky brands.
DOES YOUR JERKY CONTAIN MSG?
No! I take pride in the fact that my jerky contains no artificial preservatives or additives.
DOES YOUR JERKY CONTAIN NITRATES?
No! I take pride in the fact that my jerky contains no artificial preservatives or additives.
DO I NEED TO REFRIGERATE AFTER OPENING?
Yes! Consume or refrigerate within 3 days of opening.

DOESN'T SOY SAUCE CONTAIN WHEAT/SUGAR/CARBS?
Not necessarily! I use Kikkoman Soy Sauce, which contains only 1g of Carbs per Tbsp. During the drying process most of the Soy Sauce evaporates from the jerky and what remains leaves less than 0.5g of carbs, which is low enough to be considered Zero Carb.
Here is the Nutition Label for the Soy Sauce that I use!
