Could just be a case of Nature's Diet Plan. Quick way to shed about 20 lbs..

If meat bad it stinks. No stink = eat.

It is brined probably. It will be safe to eat as far as your concerned but it isn’t healthy. You could dry it outside on a piece of string and still edible

[McClain]

I’m with most everyone else, should be good but I would go ahead and finish drying it into jerky before eating it.

[TX_Hoghunter]

I would eat it.
