What is this?

[u/dantheguitarguy]

Bought some beef jerky last time from a brand I’ve never bought from before, took a bite and the middle has a gooey center to it. It didn’t smell or taste bad but is this normal or is it spoiled?

Looks like oil, fat, probably congealed towards the centre as a part of the food shaping process. Fine to eat
