What is the self life of your jerky?
8 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.
Do I need to refrigerate after opening?
Yes! Consume or refrigerate within 3 days of opening.
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?

Doesn't Soy Sauce contain Wheat / Gluten / Sugar / Carbs?
Not necessarily! I use Non-GMO Kikkoman Soy Sauce, which contains only 1g of Carbs per Tbsp and less than 20 ppm of Gluten. During the drying process most of the Soy Sauce evaporates from the jerky and what remains leaves less than 0.5g of Carbs and less than 2 ppm of Gluten, which is low enough to be considered both Zero Carb and Gluten Free.
My Jerky has been tested for Gluten and is Gluten Free Click Here to download the Report!
This is the nutritional Label for the Soy Sauce that I use
