Are Greenridge Farm Naturals* products nitrate and nitrite free?
No meat products can be truly nitrate and nitrite free as there are naturally occurring nitrates found in meat, sea salt, etc. But, we do not add any nitrates or nitrites to the products during processing. We also do not use any sodium nitrate, citrate, phosphate, etc. in any of our Naturals* products. As our label states, only those naturally occurring in celery powder and sea salt. But we’re confident those were the ones nature intended us to eat!
