Which is better for preserving beef jerky: Oxygen Absorbers or silica gel?
For beef jerky and dried meats, Oxygen Absorbers are the best choice because they: • Remove oxygen, preventing bacteria, mold, and spoilage. • Extend shelf life by slowing oxidation and fat rancidity. • Keep jerky fresh without affecting texture or taste.
Are Oxygen Absorbers safe for food storage?
Yes. Oxygen Absorbers are FDA-approved and safe for indirect food contact. However: • Do not open or eat the contents of an Oxygen Absorber packet. • Do not use Oxygen Absorbers in moist or wet foods (they are for dry food storage only). • Oxygen Absorbers are safe for grains, rice, beans, coffee, powdered milk, and dehydrated foods.
What happens if I use too many Oxygen Absorbers?
Using extra Oxygen Absorbers does not harm food but may: • Create a stronger vacuum effect in flexible packaging. • Make bags feel tighter than usual. It’s better to slightly overuse than to underuse, as any remaining oxygen can lead to spoilage.
