Is the product preserved with Sodium Nitritres?
387205
According to the website (http://shop.jacklinks.com/product/detail/47456.aspx), sodium nitrite is the last ingredient in the ingredients list. Ingredients are listed in order from most to fewest, so there is less than 2% of sodium nitrite in the ingredients. I base this on the fact that, further up in the list, another ingredient is listed as "less than 2% . . ." which means that the ingredients listed after that would also be less than 2%. If you have concerns, I would email or call the company directly. The phone number is 1-715-466-6608 and there's a link to send them a question under the first question on their FAQ page.

I believe this product is unrefined. Read the full description of the salt at Amazon.

I don't. The salt preserves them. If they are too salty I rinse them under water just before I use them.

Yes, they are well preserved. Not all dried out and nasty and hotter than hell!!!

Box does not have an expiration date that I could find. Makes sense since the sealed airtight packets simply contain pre-measured amounts of non-iodized salt and baking soda to make an isotonic solution. Basic chemicals which in a sealed environment should not degrade or contaminate over time eg. I use pink Himalayan table salt known to be 90 million years old and its still good. None of us have to worry about outliving that test period.

It says this product contains no yeast, dairy, egg, gluten, corn, wheat, salt, preservatives or artificial flavor or color or fragrance. Store in cool dry environment 59-86 degrees. SO THE ANSWER IS NO SALT,SODIUM LEVEL. It is a proprietary blend 4.93 gm. of Sodium Bicarbonate, Potassium Bicarbonate, Magnesium Chloride and Calcium Chloride. Hope this helps you.

No, the freeze dry process preserves them nicely.. I've had liver powder stay good for years.

It is a root crop and needs to be kept moist, which is why it is packed in water. The sodium is in the water and absorbed by the product.

I stored it for a couple of months and had no problems. It still worked fine and tasted good. I just kept it in the original packaging.

There is none. Unless the can is subjected to high heat or salt it will keep the contents in an unchanged condition indefinitely.

I have never had occasion to have used the product after it having been frozen, so cannot accurately give an answer. I will say that by experience on other such products that if it has been degraded it will sometimes show signs of separation or clotting. I would go ahead and use the product without hesitation.

I have never frozen mine, due to lack of freezer space. All of my unopened bags are kept in my pantry, which is in my garage. I am not sure whether or not nutrients are lost, but you may be able to gain this information from the Bob's website or from a dietitian. I have not had any issues with spoilage.

Nitrates are not formed during cooking. Nitrates are absorbed from the soil during growth and so they are a naturally occurring component of vegetables and are part of their metabolism. Infants under 3 months of age are at increased risk for nitrite (not nitrate, but the pH of an infant stomach can facilitate conversion of nitrates to nitrites) toxicity known as methemoglobinemia; but unless you are feeding your &lt;3 month old a diet high in nitrates as opposed to breast milk, that's not a major concern. Regarding nitrite formation during storage, there are several factors which will inhibit that in commercial foods. First it is likely these are cooked in a moist environment either by steam or by blanching, both of which reduce vegetable nitrate content. Additionally, some of the conversion of nitrates to nitrites is facilitated by enzymes in the plant and bacteria in the environment. Both enzymes and bacteria will be inactivated by the heat necessary to produce a shelf stable package, so conversion from nitrate to nitrite should be minimal during shelf storage.

Yes. My mother has stored it in its original container for over 6 months without loss of flavor. She does store it in a refrigerator though.

I've found it stays good till the resealable bag it comes in is empty. Prior to that, I stored it in a canning jar with a plastic lid on it. Celtic Sea Salt is heart-healthy. :) Enjoy flavor.

The package states cured with salt, sugar and sodium nitrite. Outside of that I do not know if a corn product may be used. Company's website is http://www.countrycuredhams.com/ you should be able to ask a question there.
