<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Does everyone make their own jerky, or is there a brand available that is known to be safe? We have a brand locally (North Carolina) that has "hydrolyzed soy protein" in it (Slim Jim) and I know I need to call the company. I just wondered if anyone else was familiar with commercial beef jerky. Thanks! Anne Washburn [log in to unmask] Co-owner, APH - Association of Personal Historians List
