Have you ever wondered whether there is a better private label manufacturer out there that can deliver precisely what your brand needs? The chances are that there are only a few, but how can you find them in a world where every manufacturer claims to be the best?

Our biltong price ranges have been updated since our last update done in 2019. The price of biltong is more or less based on a 2.75 ounce bag. Buying biltong in larger quantities generally results in lower prices. This biltong price list is mainly comprised of available online purchases. Since 2019, the price of beef biltong rose $1.05 per ounce, which counts as a significant increase in price and Read More
Note: The 2023 Turkey Jerky Range has been published.
We are due for a turkey price range update, where the last update was almost five years ago. Several jerky makers who used to sell turkey jerky either no longer sell turkey jerky or do not have it currently in stock. It was challenging to find 20 jerky makers in North America who sell turkey jerky. Between 21 jerky makers Read More
Jekokas912@itvng.com hacked our Jerky Ingredients Instagram page with over 1,700 followers. On multiple occasions, a jerky maker we had previous contact with contacted us for help with his Instagram account. Being distracted, I complied by providing some information that ultimately led to our Instagram account being hacked. It turns out that this jerky maker had his account Read More
Note: The 2023 One Pound Beef Jerky Range has been published.
With the price of rising beef along with everything else, we will now give annual one pound beef jerky price updates each April. In April 2022, the cost of beef jerky has risen $5 per pound across all price ranges since April 2020. We expanded the list of example jerky makers from a dozen to twenty jerky makers for Read More
It took over eight years to celebrate, reviewing 600 jerky flavor names to date. That is some serious creativity from the jerky makers. A jerky flavor can come under many different names. For example, Sweet & Spicy can be Sweet & Hot, Sweet ‘n Hot, Hot and Sweet, Hot ‘n Sweet, Hot & Sweet, Sweet and Spicy, Spicy and Sweet, Sweet Hot, Sweet and Zesty, etc. For each jerky review, we tag the flavor in a general category, where Read More
With a recent trip to the USA we have now exceeded 1,500 jerky bags in the JERKY SHRINE. This jerky bag collection started in 2007 to get ideas on what ingredients to use on my own homemade jerky. That turned out to be more of an exercise on what ingredients not to use in jerky. To the credit of the jerky industry, they have come a long way in cleaning up the ingredient lists of their jerky.

What started out as buying jerky bags in 2014 for ideas on what ingredients to use on my own own homemade jerky, that jerky bag collection has grown to 350 jerky brands. Back in 2014, I believed that there were not much not more than 500 jerky brands total. Today, I believe there are likely more than 1,500 jerky brands worldwide, maybe much more so if you include all of the small meat stores and butchers. Read More
For those unfamiliar with Canadian Tire, it is the Canadian equivalent to Home Depot or Lowe’s. Canadian Tire my whole life has this program in place, where they give you Canadian Tire dollars (5 cents, 10 cents, 25 cents, $1) bills for each purchase. You can build a fairly big stack of these Canadian Tire bills, which may equate to $20. For a while now, Canadian Tire had a stand of sausages Read More
Despite these strange times, we find ourselves surprisingly again in a situation where the price of beef jerky rose by only 3 cents per ounce in the past year. With all of the food inflation going on, it is unexpected that the price of jerky has remained relatively flat since 2018. Starting in April 2021, we have cut down the number of jerky reviews published mainly due to COVID related problems. The Canadian/USA border has been Read More
