I've used mine for years for deer and beef jerky, no issues. I do, however, store the finished product in the freezer in small bunches (about what I'll eat in a week). I store in the freezer for longevity, NOT because of any safety issues. I usually make a couple of big batches at a time, and the freezer keeps them fresh longer. I use a variety of recipes from the www. With tender fruit like bananas, I usually spray the trays with a light coat of Pam before putting the slice on, as they do tend to stick more due to the sugar content.
