Store-bought processed beef jerky will last one to two years easily in these conditions. If you've made homemade beef jerky, the cycle is shorter, say three months maximum. read more

Unopened beef jerky can last for 1-2 years in the pantry, even beyond a date stamped on the package if properly sealed. The shelf life of beef jerky depends on the best before date and how the jerky is stored. Jerky is dried, removing most of the moisture where bacteria likes to grow. read more
