Some familiar-looking meat products require new and special care. Some bacon, frankfurter, salami, bologna and other cold meat products -ace no longer preserved or cured with the nitrite or nitrate that gave them the long refrigerator life everyone is used to. Consumers seeking nitrite free products on the grocery shelf must look for the word "uncured" as part of the poduct name, and 'the statement "no nitrate or nitrite added". If no alter native method of preser vation such as canning, pickling*^ drying, is used, the labels will alsoTparry the \yarning: "not preserved -' keep refrigerated below 40 degrees F. at all times." The *'uncured" label on meats means: consumers; must treat these products just like fresh pork or Jffigjund beef. Ma&Heberer continues The new, uncured frank furters, bacon and lunch meats keep safely in the refrigerator only four to seven days, rather, than the two or three weeks meats .cured with nitrites would maintain their safety and quality. Nitrite acts &s both preservative and enhancer of color and flavor in meat. It preserves meat by preventing the growth of germs that cause diseases such as the deadly botulism. But recent concern about the safety of nitrites prompted the U.S. Depart ment of Agriculture to require alternative curing processes, says Ms. HebereK Some scientists regard aaditive, like nitrite, harmful to human health. Others are concerned aboui reports linking nitrites to cancer in laboratory animals. The USDA ruled to provide nitrite-free processing to provide con sumers the option of pur chasing nitrite-free protect themselves fjtom botulism and other toxic . . . substances^hat can grow in the uncured meat. Ms. Heberer offers these rules for keeping uncured meat safe. -Refrigerate uncured meat products immediately after buying thenjpand keep them refrigerated until usedf -Don't leavg them at room temperature for more than a few minutes\. -Don't pack pneured bologna sandwiched in a brown bag lunch if they can't be kept cold until lunch time. -Freeze the meat in its original packaging or wrap tightly in aluminum foil or freezer -Defr6st the meat in the refrigerator, or by im mersing it in a water tight wrapper in cold water. -If the meat requiresf cooking, "cook itA thoroughly according to packag laHel directions. [Refrigerate leftove/s promptly and use th/ within three to four da} -Carry uncured meat products to a picnic in a well- insulated cooler with plenty of ice Carry enough ice to keep leftovers cold4*' until returning home.
