In total, 39 samples of various types of jerky (beef, turkey, venison, pork, and chicken) and 7 samples of beef biltong were analysed. The jerky and biltong samples showed low water activity values (aw &lt; 0.800), which makes them microbially stable products that can be stored at room temperature without the risk of further bacterial growth. Listeria monocytogenes was not detected in any of the 92 analysed samples. From a food safety perspective, the finding of Salmonella Enteritidis in one chicken jerky sample was unacceptable. Total viable count (TVC) values showed high variability, with findings over 8 log CFU\/g. These high TVC values indicate heavily contaminated meat used to prepare dried products, or errors in the technological process that allowed bacterial growth. Both are unacceptable from a food quality and safety perspective. This means that more attention needs to be paid to the production process by processors, as well as by competent authorities. The analyses confirmed a high average protein content (&gt;50%) in the final products and a low average fat content (&lt;8%). The average salt content exceeded 3.0% and there was no statistically significant difference between the samples (p &gt; 0.05). Similarly, there was no difference in TBARS values (p &gt; 0.05). Microbial counts (TVC, lactic acid bacteria, and Enterobacteriaceae) were strongly affected by water activity, which was strongly negatively correlated with dry matter and its components such as proteins and ash\/NaCl.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/foods14213792","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,5]],"date-time":"2025-11-05T13:19:29Z","timestamp":1762348769000},"page":"3792","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Jerky and Biltong from the Czech Retail Market: Microbial Quality, Chemical Composition, and Other Quality Characteristics"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4715-1773","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Helena","family":"Vesel\u00e1","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Origin Food & Gastronomic Sciences, Faculty of Veterinary Hygiene and Ecology, University of Veterinary Sciences Brno, 612 42 Brno, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5081-2101","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Franti\u0161ek","family":"Je\u017eek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Origin Food & Gastronomic Sciences, Faculty of Veterinary Hygiene and Ecology, University of Veterinary Sciences Brno, 612 42 Brno, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0506-0347","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marta","family":"Du\u0161kov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Origin Food & Gastronomic Sciences, Faculty of Veterinary Hygiene and Ecology, University of Veterinary Sciences Brno, 612 42 Brno, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0615-0638","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Josef","family":"Kamen\u00edk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Origin Food & Gastronomic Sciences, Faculty of Veterinary Hygiene and Ecology, University of Veterinary Sciences Brno, 612 42 Brno, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9716-5703","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Radka","family":"Hul\u00e1nkov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Origin Food & Gastronomic Sciences, Faculty of Veterinary Hygiene and Ecology, University of Veterinary Sciences Brno, 612 42 Brno, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2742-8026","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Blanka","family":"Machar\u00e1\u010dkov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Origin Food & Gastronomic Sciences, Faculty of Veterinary Hygiene and Ecology, University of Veterinary Sciences Brno, 612 42 Brno, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Krist\u00fdna","family":"Brod\u00edkov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health, Medical Faculty, Masaryk University, 625 00 Brno, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ren\u00e1ta","family":"Karp\u00ed\u0161kov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Origin Food & Gastronomic Sciences, Faculty of Veterinary Hygiene and Ecology, University of Veterinary Sciences Brno, 612 42 Brno, Czech Republic"},{"name":"Department of Public Health, Medical Faculty, Masaryk University, 625 00 Brno, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"107300","DOI":"10.1016\/j.appet.2024.107300","article-title":"Unit Size Influences Ad Libitum Intake in a Snacking Context via Eating Rate","volume":"197","author":"Harper","year":"2024","journal-title":"Appetite"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"105309","DOI":"10.1016\/j.foodqual.2024.105309","article-title":"Snack Attack: What Factors Affect American Snacking Behavior?","volume":"122","author":"Moore","year":"2025","journal-title":"Food Qual.
