Origin: Jingjiang, Jiangsu Province, China. Awards: In 1981, it was successively rated as a high-quality product of Jiangsu Province, a high-quality product of the National Ministry of Commerce, and won the National Quality Product Gold Award. History: Pork jerky originated in Singapore, was introduced to Guangdong, China in 1928, and reached Jingjiang in 1936. At that time, three merchants from Shantou, Guangdong, having heard that Jingjiang had an abundant supply of pork, traveled a long distance to establish the "Sanyou" Delicious Food Factory here. The sales point for the pork jerky was set up in Shanghai, and overseas Chinese often referred to the jerky from this factory as "Sanyou" pork jerky. In 1956, after the public-private partnership, the production of pork jerky was officially included in the national plan. The manufacturer continued to introduce new equipment and improve old techniques, steadily enhancing product quality. The product became popular in Japan, France, Singapore, Hong Kong, and other regions and countries. Starting in 1956, the state granted the "Double Fish" brand pork jerky export exemption from inspection. Production Process: Jingjiang's "Double Fish" brand pork jerky is made primarily from pure lean meat of fresh pork hind legs. The raw materials must first pass laboratory testing before entering the workshop. The production involves over ten procedures, including meat selection, loading meat into molds, cold storage, mechanical slicing, ingredient mixing, leveling and screening, drying and dehydration, baking and pressing, and trimming and cutting. Features: It has a brownish-red color, a smooth and shiny appearance, a delicious taste that is sweet with a hint of saltiness, salty yet savory, leaving a lingering aftertaste. Ingredients: The jerky contains 46.5% pure protein, as well as fat, vitamins, and other nutritional components. Manufacturer: Jingjiang Food Factory, Jiangsu Province, China. (Taizhou)
