Jack Link's in Beef Jerky and Dried Meats(549)

Is teriyaki beef jerky gluten-free?

Because teriyaki beef jerky contains soy sauce (which is made with wheat) it usually contains gluten. However, tamari-style soy sauce doesn't contain wheat, so check the beef jerky package or the ingredients list for reference. Gluten-free products often display a GF seal, which guarantees consumers the product is gluten-free.

How should I store packaged beef jerky, and how long does it last?

What are some ways I can use beef jerky in recipes?
