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.

No. This product is categorized as "Quality GMP Assured." The FDA website explains this.

I wondered that myself. I kept my original bottle from my local store. (A compounding pharmacy that also has a consultant for health issues. I wanted to wean myself off of a proton pump inhibitor (ie, prevacid); he recommended this product. And as you know it is not cheap. The bottle I received was exactly the same, with an expiration date of 02/16. The seal was intact. I noticed a slight odor when I opened my first bottle. I thought perhaps it was from the heat of shipping. I have since reordered from the same company. Hope this helps.

It's been at least 2 years since I ordered this. I liked it very much and I don't think it had any preservatives in it, but honestly, I can't remember. Sorry!

I've seen this a few times. I believe it's because they do not add any sodium nitrite, which is used in many prepared and frozen foods to keep them from darkening. The cheap brands of coconut milk in Asian stores DO contain sodium nitrite. I used to buy them, but got headaches from it. I am a faithful and loyal Native Forest user now.

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.

not on mine either. however both salt and metallic lithium do not degrade if stored as directed. i have no problem concerning the expiration date.

Maria, it is a definite yes. The cod is salted and will last a very long time in the freezer. I rinse thoroughly prior to using and freshen in cold water in a large pot for about 8 hours and change the water every couple of hours. Makes great cod patties. As a child my mom would serve in the winter time. It was a cheap meal back the mid 50's at 59 cents a pound.

There is no sodium in this product, none whatsoever. No mention of it in the Supplement facts table or ingredients. It states that there are no preservatives. Hope this helps!

My understanding is it's entirely preserved by the drying process, so no added preservatives, just the water removed.

I put my 2nd bag in the freezer as well. As with any organic chemical, slow oxidation by ambient oxygen will degrade the B17 over time. Cold slows down this process greatly. So I believe you are doing exactly the correct thing. I have never heard of an organic chemical being degraded or destroyed in freezing cold.

I purchased this because it had no nitrates/nitrites and no preservatives. Having said that, I didn't care for this as much as I thought I would because it was sticky to the touch. The flavor was good though.

it is preserved with salt so it can last a year or so in fridge, indefinitely if frozen. I got mine in early Dec. used some of it 12/27 and froze the rest. there was one review that is more detailed. I wouldn't worry, in the stores it is left on the top of the fish counter with no refrigeration at all.

I am not the bottler of this product, so you can take my answer any way you want. I purchase this product because it is USDA certified organic. The manufacturer also claims that this is 100% pure noni juice with no preservatives. Once opened it needs to be refrigerated, which indicates to me it doesn't have any anti-bacterials such as nitrates. Even refrigerated it will take on a funky (funkier?) taste over time, which indicates biological processes at work. I'm convinced it is nitrate-free.

I have been buying this product for a number of years and have found no loss in nutrient. I go by the fact thatit does say you can freeze the product on the package.
