Food Category Details

Food Category Hierarchy

Cured (including salted) non-heat treated processed comminuted meat, poultry, and game products (08.3.1.1)

Description:
Salted products are treated with sodium chloride. Dry cured (dry pickled) products are prepared by rubbing salt directly on the meat surface. Wet pickle cured products are prepared by submerging the meat in a brine solution. Pump cured products are prepared by injecting brine into the meat. Curing may also be achieved by addition of additives. Also includes smoked products.1 Examples include: chorizos (spicy pork sausages), salami-type products, salchichon, tocino (fresh, cured sausage), pepperoni, and smoked sausage.

This page provides information on the food additive provisions that are acceptable for use in foods conforming to the food category.
