Old Trapper Beef Jerky

High histamine

This jerky is high in histamine, mainly from the fermented soy sauce marinade.

It is smoked, dried beef strips seasoned with brown sugar, salt, and a soy-based marinade.

  • Soy sauce leads — soy sauce is fermented, which makes it high in histamine, and it plus the hydrolyzed soy protein flavor the whole product.

  • Dried and cured — jerky is a dried, cured meat by nature, and that style tends to sit high regardless of brand.

Freshly cooked beef at home lands much lower than any smoked, marinated jerky.
