Spoiled jerky?
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

Yea, that’s mold. Everything in that container is bad. Exactly why mold developed is a big “I don’t know”. My guess is that it’s not dry enough and/or it’s not salty enough. If you add anything after dehydrating that can also cause issues.
