2022 has brought almost unprecedented soaring food prices with no end in sight. With upcoming and ongoing shortages, many jerky makers have gone out of business since 2020. For this year’s beef jerky price update, 300 jerky brands were used to determine the beef jerky price ranges. The price of beef jerky went up 33 cents per ounce since August 2021, which is easily the largest yearly increase since 2017.
As part of our annual commitment to update the cheap, average, and expensive prices in the jerky industry, we introduce our sixth annual 2022 jerky price ranges update. A mushroom jerky update will be forthcoming in August, the only jerky type not updated in 2022.
