Beef, pure USDA Prime.
USDA indicates the beef was rated by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. USGI stands for U.S. Government Issue, and usually means the meat was originally sources for the US Armed Forces and is now being sold as surplus.

The difference is in the amount of fat marbling. USDA Prime is the superior grade with amazing tenderness, juiciness, flavor and fine texture. It has the highest degree of fat marbling and is derived from the younger beef. That's why Prime is generally featured at the most exclusive upscale steakhouse restaurants. USDA Choice is the second highest graded beef. It has less fat marbling than Prime. Choice is a quality steak particularly if it is a cut that is derived from the loin and rib areas of the beef such as a tenderloin filet or rib steak. Generally USDA Choice will be less tender, juicy and flavorful with a slightly more coarse texture versus Prime.
According to the USDA's website beef jerky should be placed in a glass jar or plastic bag and stored in the refrigerator or freezer. Since they do not indicate that it can be canned it would not be advisable.
The USDA uses a variety of measures for its quality levels. Beef, for example, is separated by purpose then quality. For slaughter cows, this includes carcass weight, muscling and fatness.
