What is the shelf life of beef jerky?

[Edit]

ANSWER:

If done correctly, beef jerky should contain no water at all. Therefore it has no water molecules for mold or other bacteria to grow. It will last until eaten. Store bought jerky has other oils and additives added so they have a bacteria potential and the life span is the expiration date.
