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.

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.

No. There is primarily sodium bicarbonate in the tablets which I believe can go stale as far as it's cooking uses but does not 'go bad' as a cleaning agent.

Yes, that is totally fine. It is actually a great way to preserve the product.

Just look on internet for recipe for SALINE solution. My doc had me make my own years ago. I wouldnt make a large quantity though cuz you want it fresh. I believe I stored in fridge. Just micro till comfortable temp before use.

I'm sorry, but I truly cannot answer your question. I have no experience with keeping the product for any length of time.

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

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.

Yes, I have mine stored in a plastic container that has a tight seal and I made sure that the container did not have any aromas still associated with it before I added the product.

I will oxidise over time. Store it in the freezer or refrigerator. Well sealed. Will last in the freezer for many years. But keep what you are using on a daily basis OUT of the freezer or at least in a smaller jar. Otherwise if there's much humidity where you are, the powder will take on some moisture each time you open the bag due to it being so cooled compared to the atmosphere. Meaning, don't use the big 5lb bag as your daily go-to source if you have it in the fridge or freezer. An old Nutrex 1lb spirulina jar is what I keep it in-topping it up from the bag every few weeks or so.

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.

I've kept it for at least a month with no problem. I don't see anything in the ingredients that would spoil.

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

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 wondered the same thing when i got it. nowhere on the can does it say it is. and in a short search i did on the web, i became convinced that liquid nitrogen -- the kind that is used to freeze skin conditions -- exists at a much lower temperature. why the can warns that its contents are for professional use only, but is being sold without restrictions, is a mystery to me. also, the liquid nitrogen on sale online is very expensive, which this is not. good luck,
