FAQ

How do you verify a product is Sodium Nitrate-free?

Every product was scanned by BannedPantry's barcode engine and confirmed Safe-rated against our 200+ banned-overseas ingredient list, including Sodium Nitrate and known aliases.

Why does Sodium Nitrate matter?

Sodium nitrate serves as a slow-release source of nitrite in long-cured meats like dry-cured salami, prosciutto, and some dry-cured hams. As bacteria in the meat slowly convert nitrate to nitrite, a steady supply of nitrite preserves the meat and develops flavor over long curing periods. It is also used in some charcuterie and artisan meat products.

Do you accept brand payment for placement?

No. Every score is independent and citation-backed.
