Can Jerky Be Frozen?

If wanting to keep jerky for longer than 1-2 months, you can freeze it for up to 6 months. Freezing can alter the taste of jerky and I personally don't recommend it. A better practice is to make smaller batches and eat within a month or two, rather than making a big batch and having to much jerky at once.

What happens if you freeze beef jerky?

In other words, jerky freezes very well, and is the go-to option if you need your strips to last for months after opening. Freezing might alter the taste and texture of jerky, but only by a small amount that most of us don't even notice. You probably cannot tell it from a fresh one.

How long does beef jerky last in the fridge?

If you store beef jerky in a Ziplock bag in your pantry, it'll last about a week. And, if you store your beef jerky in the fridge, you can expect it to last one to two weeks.
