Jerky: most protein

Which jerky has the most protein per 100 g?

How this ranking is made

1,336 products in the aisle declare protein; 1,316 are ranked, leaving out 6 records above 83.3 g per 100 g (1.25 times the aisle's 99th percentile; a name or brand built on protein, such as protein, skyr or ultra-filtered, is exempt) or whose label declares more protein, fat and carbohydrate than its calories can hold; 14 named by the publisher's review (below) (each rule). Values are per 100 g as each manufacturer submitted them to USDA, one product per UPC (its newest submission that meets the data contract), and one per product sold under several UPCs with the same label. The top 100 are shown; each was read again from USDA's live record at this release, and USDA's corrections are applied.

Ceiling: values above 65.0 g per 100 g are left out (the leanest dried-beef records in USDA's branded data whose protein, fat and carbohydrate add up to their energy reach about 64 g of protein per 100 g; water, salt and seasoning take the rest, so a record above 65 g is left out).
