Many friends like to eat snacks like beef jerky, but what kind of beef jerky is authentic beef jerky? What problems should consumers pay attention to when purchasing? Don't worry, I didn't promise to tell you.

Eight points for attention in buying bagged beef jerky.

Note 1: Identity

Clear identity is the premise. If you only say that it is imported, honey-made and local specialty, please choose beef jerky carefully ... especially if the brand and manufacturer are not marked on the Internet, it is impossible to verify.

Note 2: production date and shelf life

Needless to say, freshness is very important, especially when buying food.

Note 3: Certification mark

The most basic labels are: ISO quality certification label, halal food certification label, QS (Quality and Safety Label) and ACCP food safety certification label.

Note 4: List of ingredients

Food sold must be marked with ingredients or ingredients list. Consumers who are not marked should pay attention, either unwilling to bid or afraid to bid.

Note 5: Appearance

Authentic and qualified beef jerky looks natural, except for a little seasoning powder (such as Chili powder) and contains no impurities. Some beef jerky with unclear beef texture mostly contains soybean flour, batter and even gelatin. See if the color is normal beef jerky. If the color is too good or too weird, be careful. It is likely that coloring agent has been added or to cover up the original color.

Note 6: Smell

First of all, there must be no peculiar smell or musty smell. Secondly, beef jerky belongs to cold cooked food, which usually has a weak smell. The more you chew, the more fragrant it is, or the smell is particularly strong, mostly to hide something.

Note 7: Packing tightness

Packaged products should be sealed and not damaged, especially small packages that have been exposed to beef jerky for a long time, and should not be sealed loosely, expanded or damaged, otherwise it may be polluted twice.

Note 8: Storage conditions and edible methods

This article cannot be said to be the responsibility of the manufacturer. Manufacturers should clearly explain the storage conditions and eating methods, but even genuine beef jerky should be stored and eaten in the right way after it is bought, so that it will be delicious and safe.

Selection method of naked beef jerky

Look: I saw the texture of beef jerky for the first time. Good beef jerky is particularly clear in texture, with a faint grease and luster on the surface, or fine fluff or spices on the surface. The color of beef jerky is yellow or brown or yellowish brown.

Smell: Normal beef jerky will have a faint smell of your own beef. If it is beef jerky with various flavors, it will also have the taste of beef.

Tearing: Good beef jerky will easily tear along the grain direction.
