Ohanyan's Lean Cured Beef 8oz (Sliced Basterma - Pastirma)

Can this be stored long term w/o refridgeration?

Does it have sodium nitrate?

If this Halal meat then why it does not show the "Halal" sticker or logo as sign of Halal or حلال inspection by legal authority?

It says sliced. How many pieces does that equal?
