Is there papaya in the tenderizer?

Bromelain is an natural tenderizer & is in papaya & other fruits, but it is listed last on the ingredient list. I have used this for years & have been happy with it.

Not any longer The original had Papain (from Papaya) not Bromelain (from pineapples)

No there is no papaya listed in the ingredients. The main ingredient is salt and it is extremely salty.

I put the tenderizer on the top shelf of the dishwasher standing right-side-up just like it sits on the counter top. I first rinse any large fatty masses off the tines in the sink w running water, not sure if this is necessary but I tend to be cautious with cookware hygene...

No not that I remember. Could have maybe been some sterilizer left over from manufacturing? Hopefully one time event.

yes, there are several: Ocean whitefish, salmon, filet mignon, chicken and Liver and turkey/ There is a ribbon on the front with the words savory pate'. be careful to check for this ribbon because there are other types but they are small bits in GRAVY and Not Pate'.. good luck!

no. according to the product information it is pre-sanitized. This is amazingly soft also. My granddaughter loves hers.

I checked the corer and could not find stainless steel written on the blade anywhere. It has not rusted and remains sharp. I did not save the packaging to see if it said it there.l

You can but you don't have to. I usually use beer in mine. It's a better tenderizer.

I do use mine to pick papayas but it is tough going when they are clustered. It is difficult to get a tight grip on the individual papaya. I usually pick my papayas when they are only partially ripe and therefore still quite hard, so if necessary I can just knock them off with the picker and try to catch them. If I miss, they are usually none the worse for wear!

No, and it makes it tricky touse, for fear of slicing more than just veggies. At least mine did not have a slicer guard.

My tenderizer does not have something rattling around inside and, in looking it over, I find no way to open the container even if it did. Therefore, I would just not worry about it if it is working well for you when tenderizing and if it still allows you to easily lock and unlock it. However, it would probably be more advisable to get in touch with the company and have it repaired or replaced.

Bottle does not specifically say non-GMO, nor does it have the non-GMO project certified label. Papaya is described as "freshly ripened" and "natural". It does state that the product is gluten free; however, corn starch is used as a binder. Much of the corn grown and ingested is GMO, unless labeled as such. You may need to contact the manufacturer specifically to answer this question. Their website is www.AmericanHealthUS.com

No, only fruits but something that looks like suet (an animal product) but the ingredients don't list suet. It may be chunks of Palm oil.

Mine didn't have one anywhere on the packaging. However, I had the normal tooth sensitivity after using it, so it must have still been fresh.

It is important to understand the difference as to whether a product "contains" animal-based ingredients, or is "derived from" animal-based ingredients. The distinction is that enzymes such as the ones we use in this product are highly concentrated and isolated from the source materials - whether that be from fruits, from pork or from fungi. This is very common and typical in the supplement industry. What this means is that someone with an allergy or other sensitivity to papaya for example, should not have to be concerned about taking the papain enzyme that has been isolated from papaya. Likewise regarding animal-based and other enzyme sources, however if a person practices a philosophical or religious avoidance of using ANY animal-sourced products, then we totally respect that and this is why we do not make any claim about animal-free ingredients. I hope that makes sense and is clear to everyone.

Hi L. - I've never picked a papaya before, but this thing does allow you to grip/pull/twist fairly hard once you get a good hold of stuff. I looked up some images of papayas on trees, and they look like you should be able to grip them. If I'm wrong, then sorry. For our apple tree, this is the greatest picking tool I've ever bought.

Not to my knowledge. However, it makes a great smoothie. Had one this morning.
