The best way to store beef jerky is in its original commercially vacuum sealed packaging in a cool dark place like the pantry, away from the stove or other appliances and sunlight. For even longer storage you can freeze your beef, turkey or pork jerky until ready to use.
Just like any foods, yes it can. But it will take a real long time to get there, especially in an unopened package or any sort of air-sealed container. Store-bought processed beef jerky will last one to two years easily in these conditions. If youâve made homemade beef jerky, the cycle is shorter, say three months maximum. You can increase these times by freezing your jerky until itâs time to eat it.
