What is Jerky Market?
Jerky is lean-trimmed meat cut into strips and dried (dehydrated) to prevent spoilage. Normally, this drying includes the addition of salt to prevent bacteria growth before the meat has finished the dehydrating process. The manufacture of dried meat products is regulated across the majority of the country. Jerky is becoming more popular among consumers as compared to sit-down meals. Growing consumer demand for nutrient-dense snacks, including those with healthy fats, iron, and vitamin B, is driving the development of enriched meat snacks, which in turn is driving the market for jerky. Due to the portability of foods like jerky, sticks, and sausages, it is a convenient choice for consumers looking for wholesome meat snacks. In a few years, consumer preference has moved towards healthy snacks including jerky. Consumers prefer more information on the packaging of the products.
