       | Be advised that food in the US labeled "nitrate free*" or
       | "uncured" still contains just as much nitrates as the unlabeled
       | stuff. Nitrates are required by the FDA for food safety and just
       | because that's what those foods are by their nature. The
       | difference is that "uncured" uses fermented celery powder as a
       | natural, indirect source of nitrates to cure the meat.
