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.

Simple answer, yes. Since I began using this product in my canister filters, I have seen virtually little if any raising of the Nitrite or Nitrate levelts.

I just finished up my last jar, have to purchase more. There is of course sodium in it, but it's not too bad. My dh had a heart attack about 3 years ago, so we are fairly careful with sodium content. Wish I could tell you exactly, but you perhaps can email to company ? I also have to say, the sauce is delicious.

I don't think so, but it should be in the directions on the bottle. I did not refrigerate it.

I bought it as #1. On the container it says that it is 6 % nitrite. So I don't really know if it's #1 or #2.

There is no sodium listed on the ingredient label. If this is a critical issue, I would recommend calling the company; go to the company website.

This product doesn't have a shelf life that I'm aware of. The contents are under pressure. As long as the integrity of the container isn't compromised you should be good to go.

Insta cure #1 which i use to make corned beef or any meat that would be smoked but not dried sausages etc or cooked later on contains 6.25% sodium nitrite and 93.75% salt Insta cure #2 which i would use to make like salami or any meat that would be air dried and not cooked contains about 6.25% sodium nitrite and about 1% sodium nitrate and about 92.75% saltThe reason a cure with the addition of sodium nitrate (Insta Cure #2) is used for such long curing products is because it breaks down very slowly over a period of time into sodium nitrite, the sodium nitrate works like an extended release medication for meats that require very long curing times, like dry cured sausages Insta cure #1 which i use to make corned beef or any meat that would be smoked but not dried sausages etc or cooked later on contains 6.25% sodium nitrite and 93.75% salt Insta cure #2 which i would use to make like salami or any meat that would be air dried and not cooked contains about 6.25% sodium nitrite and about 1% sodium nitrate and about 92.75% saltThe reason a cure with the addition of sodium nitrate (Insta Cure #2) is used for such long curing products is because it breaks down very slowly over a period of time into sodium nitrite, the sodium nitrate works like... » Read More Insta cure #1 which i use to make corned beef or any meat that would be smoked but not dried sausages etc or cooked later on contains 6.25% sodium nitrite and 93.75% salt Insta cure #2 which i would use to make like salami or any meat that would be air dried and not cooked contains about 6.25% sodium nitrite and about 1% sodium nitrate and about 92.75% saltThe reason a cure with the addition of sodium nitrate (Insta Cure #2) is used for such long curing products is because it breaks down very slowly over a period of time into sodium nitrite, the sodium nitrate works like an extended release medication for meats that require very long curing times, like dry cured sausages « Show Less

No,but it tastes better(less caustic)if kept refrigerated.You could also google the answer by typing the product name and the word refrigerate in the search engine(not the Amazon search engine).

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

Actuall I never noticed a "best by" date on the bottle. . .not to say it wasn't there. I would think the shelf life would be a few years since it is high in sodium.

i looked on mine and did not find any. i would not think it has a long shelf life because it has no preserves in it. did you try contacting the company?

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.
