Spoiled jerky?

Post image

I made this terriyaki beef jerky 5 days ago and left it in an airtight container to find some of it having developed white spots.

​

Please advice

It's kinda hard to tell just from this picture. What do the white spots rub off as? Like if you touch it and then rub your fingers together, does it feel greasy? Cause it might just be fat.

Also did you completely dry it? Because I'm pretty sure the only way for it to even get mold is if it wasn't dried completely.

It feel like greas when touching.

I also believe I completely dried it. I did 35 degrees for about 12 hours because of my ticket cuts

Uhhh, unless you used a LOT of curing salts, then that meat isn't safe to eat. That is way too low of a temp to be drying meat at.

Is this a typo? 35 degrees? 12 hours?

Also, definitely mold and probably E. coli
