I looked at all of the packs of cold cuts in my local Loblaws store here in London Ontario. Apart from two, Maple Leafs Natural Selections and a Presidents Choice Prosciutto, all of the other packs of ham, salami and similar products produced by:
- Ziggy’s
- Piller’s
- Mastro
- President’s Choice
- Schneider’s
contained the following preservatives:
- Sodium Phospate
- Salt
- Carageenan
- Sodium Ascorbate
- Sodium Nitrate
You might think that the contents of the packages came off the same productions lines and were just packaged according to which retailer was going to sell them. There may well be some truth in this, but I do not know for sure.
What I do know is this. We are eating all kinds of crap.
Now for a question.
If Sodium Phosphate is a substitute for Sodium Nitrate, why do both sodium types appear in the SAME foodstuffs?
