It has nothing to do with food safety, and by no means it&rsquo;s an expiration date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even the producers often say that their jerky should be fine after that date:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>When we produce beef jerky we print a &ldquo;Best By&rdquo; date of 18 months. Jerky stored under most circumstances will be just fine after 18 months.<\/p><cite>Jack Link&rsquo;s<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, it&rsquo;s impossible to say how long past that date the meat will be fine. The best advice I can give you is: open that out-of-date package, and if it doesn&rsquo;t have any signs of spoilage, give it a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to <strong>leftover jerky<\/strong>, most producers recommend finishing the bag within a couple of days (usually 3 to 5) of opening the package. Of course, as long as you store the meat well, it keeps for much longer, like even a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-paragraph-tip\">More often than not, you will throw out old jerky because its quality is not good enough anymore, not because it&rsquo;s spoiled in the traditional meaning of the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Beef-jerky-closeup-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"Beef jerky closeup\" class=\"wp-image-3130\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Beef-jerky-closeup-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Beef-jerky-closeup-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Beef-jerky-closeup-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Beef-jerky-closeup.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Beef-jerky-closeup-800x534.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Beef jerky closeup\" class=\"wp-image-3130 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Beef-jerky-closeup-800x534.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Beef-jerky-closeup-500x334.jpg.webp 500w, https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Beef-jerky-closeup-768x512.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Beef-jerky-closeup.jpg.webp 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Beef-jerky-closeup.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-3\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><figcaption>Beef jerky closeup<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-store-beef-jerky\">How To Store Beef Jerky<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><strong>Store unopened jerky in a cool, dry, and dark place<\/strong>, like a cupboard in the pantry or kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you open the packet, feel free to leave it in the same place if you&rsquo;re going to finish the meat within 2 to 3 days.

How To Tell If Beef Jerky Is Bad?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><strong>Unless you expose beef jerky to moisture and bacteria, it won&rsquo;t go bad in a way that it grows mold or starts to rot.<\/strong>&nbsp;The worst that&rsquo;s likely to happen is that the quality of the meat deteriorates, and it&rsquo;s no longer good enough for your liking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, if your beef jerky smells off or there&rsquo;s any fuzzy mold on the surface, throw it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other than that, it&rsquo;s really up to you whether you&rsquo;re going to eat it or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the meat is slightly darker or seems a bit tougher, it&rsquo;s still 99 percent fine to eat. Maybe your eating experience won&rsquo;t be as great as it used to, but that&rsquo;s about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&rsquo;s one more thing to cover before we wrap up:&nbsp;<strong>white &ldquo;stuff&rdquo; on beef jerky<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are at least three reasons why there might be a patch of white on your jerky:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Mold.<\/strong>&nbsp;If it&rsquo;s white and fuzzy, it&rsquo;s mold, and you should discard it.<\/li><li><strong>Fat.<\/strong>&nbsp;If it&rsquo;s greasy, it&rsquo;s most likely fat from the meat, and it&rsquo;s fine to eat. You can scrape it off if it grosses you out.<\/li><li><strong>Salt.<\/strong>&nbsp;If it looks like salt crystals, well, it&rsquo;s most likely salt from the meat that crystallized.
