Hot is the heat rating on Jerky Junction Tender Brisket Beef Jerky, and it means exactly that: tender brisket with a fiery, flavorful heat. The meat is 100% beef brisket, seasoned with teriyaki sauce, brown sugar, spices, granulated garlic and lemon juice. This is the real deal: whole muscle jerky, not the chopped and formed stuff, made with USA beef and USDA inspected and passed. Through the window the pieces are dark reddish-brown, flecked with red spice. No MSG added, except what naturally occurs in soy sauce. No nitrates or nitrites added, except those naturally occurring in sea salt and celery juice solids.
