It's a bad label, but as far as I can tell it basically means cured meat preserved with nitrates.
To your specific question, if the meat needs freezing, it's probably not cured and therefore fine.
The current wave, by the way, is to hide the nitrates by using "celery salt". It may come from celery, but it has the exact same effect.
- NikolaeVarius 6y agoDoes celery ship with the warning/all the vegetables that contain nitrates?
- ip26 6y ago1) The nitrates aren't a problem by themselves, they react with compounds in the meat during the curing process to form nitrosamines. 2) Celery powder (sorry, apparently I mixed up the salt and the powder) is concentrated.
- gruez 6y ago>Celery powder (sorry, apparently I mixed up the salt and the powder) is concentrated. This is still not correct. According to a google search celery naturally contains high levels of nitrate. They harvest the juice and use bacterial culture to convert it to nitrites for use in curing.
