Guest guest Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 Hi, I was hoping for bacon that did not contain any additives but have not been able to source any. Our local supplier has organic bacon that they make using brine and salt petre, but when I looked up salt petre I found it was sodium nitrate although somewhere else it said it was potassium nitate.... I guess either is bad... any comments? Did it used to be made using only brine? " Salt petre " sounds like a pretty ancient thing, though, and has quite a long history for preserving meats.
