opening. The flavor can get "old" or
oxidized. It will not spoil like fresh meat.
Please make sure to reseal the package
after each use. Air getting into the bag may
dry the product out.

have a catalog for mail order. Our products

Does Jerky need to
be refrigerated after
opening?
Because most of the moisture is removed,
jerky is shelf stable and can be stored
without refrigeration.
Do you offer tours?
At one time we did but for safety reasons,
we do not give plant tours.

processing Oberto Jerky Natural Style Beef
Jerky?
Salt and Sodium Nitrite are the

What temperature do you process the Jerky
at?
The USDA Meat and Poultry Hotlines current
recommendations for making jerky safely are
to heat the meat to 160 degrees F. before
the dehydrating or oven process. This step
assures that any bacteria present will be
destroyed by wet heat.
