Beef Jerky Processing
The information presented here is a result of a collaborative effort by USDA FSIS, Utah State University and New Mexico State University. A three-day hands-on workshop was presented in Spanish with materials developed by Brian Nummer at Utah State University. These materials, along with other materials developed by the University of Wisconsin, were used to develop an educational Flash module. The content from the module is captured below.
