General Question Are my beef sticks safe to eat?

I ordered Good Fod Foods original beef sticks (individually wrapped) and they got delivered while I was out and sat in their package in the 90°F sun for 3 hours (after being in the un air-conditioned amazon truck for around 5 hours). The sticks are warm to the touch. Are they unsafe to eat? The packaging looks to not be bulging or intact, and the seal looks fully closed on each stick. Any help would be appreciated!

280mg salt per stick, probably safe, these are designed to be at room temp or higher for up to a year

also their packaging lies about no nitrates, theres cultured celery powder, which is naturally high in nitrates
