Additives
E250 - Sodium nitritePreservative
Sodium nitrite (E250) is a salt used for curing and preserving meat products.
It plays a critical role in preventing the growth of Clostridium botulinum, the bacterium responsible for botulism, in cured meats like bacon, ham, and sausages. It also provides the characteristic pink color and flavor.
However, nitrites can react with amines in the stomach to form nitrosamines, which are potent carcinogens. High intake of processed meats containing nitrites is associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer. Regulatory bodies have set strict limits on its use in food.
E316 - sodium erythorbateAntioxidant
SODIUM ERYTHORBATE is the sodium salt of erythorbic acid. Sodium erythorbate is produced from sugars derived from different sources, such as beets, sugar cane, and corn. It is used predominantly in meats, poultry, and soft drinks.
E621 - Monosodium glutamateFlavour Enhancer
Monosodium glutamate (MSG), or E621, is the sodium salt of glutamic acid, an amino acid found naturally in many foods.
It is widely used as a flavor enhancer to provide an "umami" or savory taste to a variety of processed foods, including soups, snack chips, and frozen meals.
MSG is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by food authorities. However, some people report sensitivity to MSG, experiencing short-term symptoms like headaches and flushing, though scientific studies have not shown a consistent link.
