If done correctly, none. In order for it to be "jerky" it has to be water free or without moisture. This keeps bacteria from being able to form and reproduce. Certain store brands of beef jerky have additives and oils that can make the product have a "best used by" date. These can be harmful as they can have bacteria form on them and eating them after that date can make one sick. The best way to make beef jerky is to make your own. Its cheaper and much healthier. You are not going to find levels of 0% water in any food, though it can get close. Freeze dried or vacuum dried foods are the closest to zero. See Related Links. Even our cat's dry food is ~10% moisture.

Why is beef jerky so expensive?

The main reason is that all jerky is costly to make. Beef is about 60% water, so when it is dried most of the weight is evaporated. It takes about 2.5 Lbs of quality beef to make 1 Lb of jerky. Secondly, many jerky companies use expensive chemicals and preservatives when making their jerky, and they have a lot of waste just based on how they make it. I love beef jerky too, so here's the secret: Go to Walmart or Bass Pro Shops and buy a $40 dehydrator. Then go to your supermarket and buy meat ask the meat department to slice it super-duper thin for you. Marinate it overnight in whatever thrills you in the fridge and the next day put it in the dehydrator, give it 12 hours and voila! - you have a much healthier and better tasting jerky. I make my own out of chicken, turkey, salmon, beef, etc....
