SERIOUS PIG Snackingham Pork Ham Meat Snack 12 Pack, Classic Flavour Savoury Pub Snacks Food

INGREDIENTS: British cured pork with garlic, caraway and white pepper NUTRITIONAL PROFILE: 17g protein per 35g pack, under 1g carbs, just 93 calories ETHICAL SOURCING: Outdoor-reared British pork from approved farms FORMAT: 12 individual 35g portions for convenient snacking STORAGE: Keep in a dry area at ambient temperature - no need for refrigeration ULTRA LOW NITRATES: Nitrites have a vital job. In cured meat, a small amount of sodium nitrite keeps harmful bacteria (including botulism!) in check - so it wouldn't be safe to make these snacks without it. What we can control is how much. Our meats are cured using the lowest possible level of nitrite that does the job - 50 parts per million, in line with the Soil Association's standard, and a fraction of the 250ppm typical in mass-produced cured meats. So yes, nitrite appears on the ingredients list, in the smallest amount needed to keep things safe. No cure accelerators, no colour fixers, no shortcuts, just the most honest, low-intervention way to cure meat.
